Ringcraft Clubs and Dog Show Training in the UK
New to dog showing?
Ringcraft classes help you and your dog learn the skills needed for the show ring. Friendly clubs can help with handling, standing your dog correctly, movement and preparing for your first dog show.
Before entering a show, make sure your dog is registered in your name with The Royal Kennel Club. Always contact a club before travelling because venues and class times can change.
