Within a few minutes her tail stayed up. My friend took her in the ring and did the samething. It worked. I do use this at handling class too if my yorkie is alittle nervous. It really makes them feel more comfortable, happy and Attitude. Hope this helps you. |
Good suggestion. I usually rub the back of the tail as I'm holding it up and instead of keeping the dog in a stacked position while the other dogs have their turn with a judge we play with a toy.......gets their mind off of their fears.
