Also another thing I just noticed.. you need to hold the lead in one hand.. not in both hands at the sametime. Your show lead will be a MUCH thinner lead that you can bunch up and hold in one hand....

So I guess the first things I would do is make sure you get a proper show collar and lead.... and hold the lead the right way... make sure the collar sits a little higher up on the neck (not as low a bucket collar)..

Like I said before I can't watch the videos, so I'm not sure how fast your husband was moving/gaiting Ajax... with a shepherd you should pretty much be running with the dog to get him to move at his correct speed and move correctly... front and rear movement (like in the quote below) can really be thrown off if you move the dog to slow or to fast...

When I show my Collies I have to run with most of them to get them up to the proper speed to show off the correct movement...

The White Shepherd should be shown more moderatley than the German Shepherd...less extreme side gait and less extreme stack...the emphasis in movement isnt placed on the side gait - the front and rear gait are seriously important as well to these folks. The last judge I asked about it said that their trot / stack is 'more functional' (behind his hand )
