Yes thats what i have stopped doing in my show training as mishka would sit for treats/ food , shes much better in the fun dog shows now as shes standing all the time in the ring. Not kc regd so she has to miss out on the open & champ shows. Kaviks papers came back from the kennel club yesterday so breeder says she will send them in recorded delivery to me , his kc name is now BLUESANDTWOS BLACK KAVIK.
