i am rather curious a bit about the training for show dogs..i have a pup which is only 2 months old..and i plan to show her once her vaccination is all done..and ive been told that if i wanna show my dog preferbably dont send her to obedience training as they will tend to train her to sit a lot and tht will be a problem when she is in the show ring where she will tend to sit and not stack properly..is that true? ive just enrolled her to the obedience training organize by MKA starting in january..what are the important things that i need to teach her apart from stacking her and not biting on her leash while she walks..im reallly new to all these showing thingy.. and then if anyone knows whether i can cancel my obedience class reg and get back deposit if i dont want?hmm..aall of u 'sifu' out there pls help..kinda confused now... Lots of love to my beloved Ritchieboy who has left us on Jan 11 2004..May god bless him

hi,
yea, shouldn't be much of a problem.. coz at the class they don't only teach sit, but also stand and stay as well. so like joanne mentioned u can apply the stand and stay command if u wish to stack ur dog in the show ring. would be much easier if compared with ur dog having no understanding of the command
if your dog can master the stand command well, it certainly help a lot in the show ring. and i also doubt that you'll be able to get a refund :/

I haven't entered any of the show competition but to my understanding, normally, MKA will arrange with the local hotel whenever there is show... If I m not mistaken, it will be in Vistana for Penang.
The show in Penang this coming Dec 14, I heard that it will be held in Pisa - Bayan Baru.
