Day 2 we started to prepare a lot earlier and had time to walk him around alot,also spent more time practicing stacking and holding the stack.....I am such a "newbie" !! Sebastien went alot better and was so responsive,I was so proud of him. We took Reserve Winners Dog !! I was so excited,here are a few photos from the weekend,

Congratulations! Carl, you and Sebastien do look great together in the ring.

"Getting the beans out of him" -- lol, Sebastien is gorgeous, even when full of beans.

Great Win. WTG Reserve Winners. Pics were beautiful . You look so proud (as you should be of your boy!)

Keeping fingers x'd for next show. We're two weekends from now.

You have lots of time to work on stance/stay. Try taking him to busy places it can help. But if you can get to showsite early and walk him around and then in the ring |I found that this helps alot.

Thanks Gail I am very proud yes

Good luck on your next show !

I took him out this morning and walked and practiced stacking and making him stay,he was great.I did the workout walk first ,then the stacking,then I let him run loose for a reward,he was a good boy !

Yes, we'll be sure to get there early and walk him around and then in the ring that he'll show in,that's what we did on Sunday and it worked awesome.

Carl, congrats on your RWD, that's fantastic. Sebastien looks gorgeous (you too!).

I know exactly what you mean. Gidget was BOB puppy in her first show; in her second show she hopped on her hind legs like a bunny rabbit. And that's the good part. Think of it this way - it's good that he has personality and energy and now it just needs to be reigned in a little bit. At least that's what everyone tells me about Gidget.

I also feel extremely clumsy and awkward in the ring. I just don't know what to do with all my "stuff" and Gidget needs my full attention. I have two left feet and I know I look like a big doof. You, however, do NOT!

I'm sure Sebastien will do great - how can he not? He's beautiful.

Thanks Susan I know that I'm not the only one that feels like this,sure is nice to hear I'm not alone.

I just heard of some handling classes within my reach here in Montreal.They are on Wednesday nights.I'm going to go watch next Wednesday night and then start the week after when the new session starts.I'm sure thay will help me alot.

I guess just practice and repitition,watch others while you are waiting to go in.I'm practicing everyday now when I take Sebastien out for his walk,I learned that he needs to get the beans out of him first,then he concentrates a lot more.

Thanks for the compliment on Sebastien,your Gidget is beautiful too,I am looking forward to watching her mature.
