Glad she did a little better this morning!
Remember, these puppy matches are just for fun and a great place to start if you and the puppy are new. Everyone is very patient & kind and normally they are very relaxed.
I completely agree with Pat, set your expectations to just having fun or she is right, stay home. I sure wish someone had said those very words to me when I started having problems with Captain! I could have saved some money and stress!
Just my opinion, but I really think we are training ourselves as much as our pups when it comes to showing! Not just in the "rules" of showing, but more so in how you teach yourself to handle the nerves/worries and the unexpected......the better handle I got on myself, the better my pup did in and out of the ring.
Good luck....and know I will be thinking of you...is it next weekend??
