One thing that started to work (until he got tired of trying) was when i'd put a book or something down for him to stand on and have her back up to him. ALWAYS hold the female! so she doesn't take off around the room with your boy and break him! good luck and i truely hope my boy comes around someday too....

Placing a book to get him at the right heighth is a great method, but you may want to add a towel, something to give him traction. Also, someone assisting him and guiding him to hit the mark and hold him in place, until the female's muscles hold him in place. Also, lubricating the female with KY jelly helps him enter her easier. Once the mark had been hold and a tie has been accomplished, gently help him turn around. Continue to hold the girl and the male. Congratulating the male and softly speaking to the girl.
