Pigeon Standard training?

[Saigo]

Hello, I just received my very first American fantail pigeon.
It is white and I am unsure what gender it is.

here it is as im drying it after it's first bath.

The reason for my thread here is to ask how can I train him/her to stand in a "Standard" posture.
I have never trained a pigeon, only taught parrots to talk.

Any advice for a novice?
I would go to a pigeon show and ask someone there, however there wil be one in a couple months, id like to train it as soon as i can.

Thank you
