We have been having a problem lately with my young whippet Simba. He goes to pieces when he's on the table and hunches his back. He too is very reliant on his best mate his twin sister Amber. To try to solve the problem I have been taking him to ringcraft without Amber and taking with me a large amount of liver. I put him on the table and as the person goes over him it is working the last show he was much more relaxed and allowed 2 different judges to go over him 1 was a woman the other a man its men he objects to mostly.

As I think some one else has said try to get to the show early and take hi into the ring and ptactice moving him before to many other people get there. If there is a friendly helpful person there ask them to go over him. We did this with Simba at the shows and it did help him. Is he food or toy orientated if he hes food orientated then take plenty of treats for him if he is more interested in toys have a small toy in your pocket and make sure he knows it is there.

GOOD LUCK AT YOUR SHOW.
