How to stand proud in the ring??

[autumnbells]

After two years of training I think I find the way to walk in the ring with Autumn. When there is some action Autumn knows what to do. But then when we have to wait she loose all her interest. Perhaps i ask for the winners secret but can anybody give some clues how to make Autumn feel very proud and secure in the ring.

Hi

I try to make my dogs stand proud with a treath keeping for their nose (not too close ;D). Of course, the first couple ... or many times ;D, they will jump and not cooperate. But after a while, they will stand, maybe only for one second, but I praise them greatly then. So this is the start... next couple of days, you can build the time of standing nicely, up.
It takes a couple of weeks for sure, depending how the dog is improving.
But I also learned, that you must keep it interesting for your dog, so I do it only for a couple of minutes a day, or every 2 days, so that they not feel bored and like this "excersise" !

Hope it can help you !
