Train Your Dog
Once you have determined that your Klee Kai is eligible, you will need to start training for the show ring. Start by teaching your Klee Kai basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel. You will also need to teach your dog how to correctly hand stack, free stack, and gait. You can find helpful resources online to learn how to properly train your Klee Kai for the show ring.
Attend Dog Shows
Once your Klee Kai is ready, you can then start attending dog shows. There are a variety of dog shows that you can attend, from local to national shows. At each show, your Klee Kai will be judged on its conformation, which is how it looks and moves. Be sure to read the rules and regulations for the show you are attending and ensure that your Klee Kai is prepared for the judging.
