'Stand'

[CockersIndie]

Hi everyone

as some of you know, im very new to showing. I've been to two whole ringcraft classes and one companion show  However im struggling to get Indie to stand nicely (on the table she is slightly better). She tends to sit (obviously we taught this one from 8 weeks and it is very engrained!!  ).  She's moving really nicely around the triangles etc but just can't quite hold a stand without jumping up  for the treat or sitting down (lazy pup!)

Any tips on getting a nice 'stand'?.

use the tip bit as a reward only, when you have done your triangle & moving back too your place when judge picks you out,
try getting her too stand for her dinner aswell, gd luck, it takes a little practise too get them standing x

so don't use it as a lure? she just loves to sit  ok i'll do that-currently practising round the kitchen island! thank you!

Winston use to sit as well I had to hold him up under his belly , he is better than before . I hold the treat out on front on him so he stretches to reach it and couldn't if he sits and say stand stand all the time, and walk walk when we are walking.
He is loads better at home and messes around at the class it does get easier though
