Once when I was showing a 6 month old Shih Tzu puppy, I was heading back to the judge and she bent over to play with the dog and he jumped right into her arms.
She loved it and he got his first major that day. As far as going potty in the ring always keep a tissue in your pocket or tuck one into your bra strap and just pick it up quick, poo poo happens. |
Very practical.... lots of treats, and
tissues in the pocket!
I came from beginner's class. But before that, the handler of the conformation class gave My SweetPea a few minutes of 'private' lesson. My SweetPea was too slow to follow and walk in the leash. So she took the leash from me, and started to literally drag My SweetPea everytime she would not walk; which made My SweetPea more stubborn
. The handler dragged her from one end of the room to the other
, and did this three times back and forth. My heart couldn't take it
, but soon, My SweetPea started to walk faster and in pace
...
Whewww.... glad that was over!
