It also helps if you can set up your grooming table in front of a mirror. Then you can watch in the mirror as you stack the dog and you will be seeing what the judge sees. Also, try placing her on lots of different surfaces at different heights and do a very quick stack with lots of praise or a treat. Pretty soon she will not think anything of being stacked no matter what the place.

I have a friend who used to take her yorkie to the post office and ask people to give her dog a treat and pat its body. That way they get used to strangers, and both men and women touching them. But always with a little reward from the stranger. Pretty soon you'll be in the ring and your baby will race up to the judge to get her treat. Judges like that.
