Teena , wrap all that lead INTO your hand when you are handling on the table or floor , what ever you do dont let it dangle all over the place , its really distracting from the dog ( have you realise all these fantasic tips Ive picked up from those Junior handlers !!) They really did put some of us 8) to shame

Ill have to go back to look at your dog now (w00t) , cos I was too busy laughing at you holding the lead :lol: :lol: :huggles:

Shes looks quite nice , Teena .

I would have thought your `training `people would have told you about how to hold the lead :- "

thanks jax, but how do i get him to do that ? did try stretching him :lol: but wasnt sure if that was the right way to do it :- " :- " im going to the whippet club show in coventry(think thats right) on the 2nd of april :sweating: so want him to at least be standing right by then )

Try lightly running your thumb and first finger down the spine.......... I have shown Teena how to do this, so maybe she can show you on Sunday :thumbsup:

I've seen quite a few people draping the end of the lead loosely around their neck whilst stacking. I tried it that way and preferred it to scrunching it in my hand.

 

[melanie]

Thats ok , but what if the dog gets spooked ? (w00t) Especially a pup . Have alook around and see what other Whippet peps do , Not many put it round their necks , thats for sure
