What type show lead are you using? It sounds as if you might need a longer one. You can touch them while they are on the table. Like Mardelin said, you can hold their rear. There are ways of getting them to stand up that aren't too obvious..lo l You might ask about taking the dogs home with you if possible to get more training done. Sounds like you might get more accomplished this way and they will also be even more comfortable with you. Oh, yes, also like Mary (Mardelin) mentioned, don't forget those mints!
Just jump in there and have fun. Experience is the best teacher.
