I'm showing a boy now that when I got him he had his tail down but I always talked to him in the ring and saying good boy good boy and being real happy and I also took him to one handling class and now he has his tail up and took reserve yesterday. It just takes patience and work and like Magic said "LOTS" of patience and praise and postive reinforcements
Actually Morgan was the same way and she took a 5 point major in NY
It can be done
