She just turned two. She has a BH (which is like a combination of the CGC
and whatever the 'entry level' obedience title is that AKC offers), but she
has not had *any* ring training, and I have to get a show rating on her for
her breed survey. I want her to be able to show as best she can, even though
she's a working line dog and I don't plan on continuing to show her, because
she has nice conformation and I don't want to be out there wasting the
judge's time fighting with an unruly gray dog. You know? I'm one of those
that strives for perfection, even if I just need something to 'get by.' I
don't like all the chaos of double handling; I want her to do what she needs
to do because she knows what she needs to do - not because I'm outside the
ring running around clanging on pots and pans or whatever to get her
attention.
I'll work on what you (and others) have suggested and let you know how it
goes.
