    I've tried bait and no bait in the ring. I think bait works better for Logan, but not for me. He likes it and responds to it well, but as a new handler it's a pain in the butt. I know what I'm expected to do. Doing it once in the ring is hard. I get caught up in the minute and then forget what I'm supposed to do the next. I once stacked Logan backwards on the table. D'oh! Logan is SUPER food driven and he knows if I have cookies in my pocket. That's all he'll pay attention to. Jumping on the handler is frowned upon. Yes, I know training and time will cure it. Not there yet. Too many hobbies. Showing, breeding, MGBs, stereos, astronomy, motorcycles, family, friends, travel, house, etc. I need more time.

    @Roux I have to live with the dogs 24/7. The judge sees them for maybe 3 minutes. My preference tops his/hers !

    @eeeefarm said in Complete newbie to showing: ... I had a husky/shepherd crossbred that was the same way. Put a muddy dog in the barn at night, open the door to a perfectly clean one in the morning! What the...? Did they wipe themselves with a horse? :face_with_tears_of_joy:

    Yes, Andrea, we did brave the plane trip (that was when my husband and Tex were stranded overnight in Pittsburgh due to snow) to Cleveland several years ago. Tex won the Breed on the day Animal Planet was filming the Group Judging. We were really excited until we saw the finished product - Tex and Bob got about 1 1/2 seconds of air time as they were panning the Group! If you blinked, you missed them… Oh well, we still have the sleigh bells he won, and Tex learned that snow melts when you mark your territory LOL Terry
