I've been to a open show today where Zana was placed 5th of 5th, not because she was the worst
dog there.........far from it if im honest.....she earned her place by being the only one to shiver and
shake and hug somebody's leg rather than walk round like the proud little girl she is. The last two
shows have been the same. She wont stand for more than a few seconds, she's shakes on the
table like a beaten dog and when i walked her round she was closer to my leg than my trousers.
She was like this at the last show, afterwards i spoke to someone who knows what she's doing
and she kindly gave me some tips, Zana and me have been practicing more since then and trying
out what she suggested. And its all been going well. At ring craft or at home she stands and walks
fine, doesn't seem to have any problem at all..........so what's going on when we get to a show.....
When we got there, i put her in her crate with the door open and placed the crate between my friend
and my chairs. She was happy enough and kept popping in and out. She walked into the ring no
problem but as soon as she got on the table that was it.......bring on the quivering wreck.
She doesn't have a problem with the table at home or ring craft, i should add.
At home or visiting anyone or out walking she is a confident, outgoing, happy girl. She does like to
keep an eye on me to make sure im around but isn't glued to me.
Where do i go from here.......is she telling me she doesn't like showing ?
Should i stop now,
Should i stop showing but keep up with her training and try her again later,
Should i stop everything now and start from scratch later
I don't what to do with her.
