sometimes I get so task focussed I forget the really important things. Donna always remembers them. 9 mths old, have Fun with your pup is so very important for you and him.
Liver treats or very small teeny cheese treats might just be the ticket for him; when dogs are very uncomfy they often will turn their nose up at the usual (for them) treat.
Also win or lose no matter what make a big fuss over your dog prior to going out of the ring, treat. praise with hands and voice, so that your dog associates ringtime with good things from you.
