A couple of my dogs seem to show better for someone else cause "mommy" is a push-over!LOL Also, give him a break from showing. He may just have burn out, especially a young dog. Maybe take him and another dog to shows but dont show him, just make it a fun day. |
Thanks, yes I have done that. I think you are right. he has only been in one weekend show. it was four shows and my son handled him for one of the shows. Today, my son tried him and he kept trying to get back to mama with his tail tucked between his hind legs. I just a few minutes ago took him out on my driveway with a sqeaky toy and he did great. We are going back to class tomorrow night. it is set up like a show with several rings and all kinds of dogs, I am hoping this will refresh his memory. I am taking the toy with us.
