My key word is "bites". Tahlulah is so food motivated, that when I first took her in the ring I wasn't sure how she was going to do.....well, I got her to do her down and back and her individual, by softly saying bites, bites bites......all the way around the ring......That was her 1st day in the ring and she took WB, BOW & BOS & Best Puppy.
