Santa Clara Dog Training Club

Ready to compete! Ring Ready is a unique class designed for handlers and dogs preparing to compete in AKC Beginner Novice (BN) or Novice Companion Dog (CD) trials. This class offers a simulated competition experience, providing the opportunity to practice in a trial-like environment with real-time feedback.

In each session, you'll practice the judged exercises required in obedience trials, helping you build confidence and improve your ring readiness. The instructor will provide personalized feedback and training suggestions for each handler and dog, with approximately ten minutes of individual attention per dog.

Whether you're preparing for your first trial or refining your skills for an upcoming competition, Ring Ready is the perfect way to get your dog trial-ready.
