Friday April 24th under Judge Susan Badick – RWD(Reserve Winners Dog)
Saturday April 25th – I pulled Tain from showing today and will post more later yet basically; a woman scared the living daylights out of Tain; rushing at him and waving her arms and making all sorts of bizarre noises as his back was sightly turned; so he could just see 'enough' of her and then she made these movement like she was going to 'hit' him….sigh…so now I am working through a 'stranger danger' phase with him….She thought it was funny and said she was 'only' joking and wanted to play with him and Tain was terrified….UGH! Anyone that has met Tain knows what a sensitive marshmallow teddybear of a mushball he is….Talk about a MAJOR setback on a Dane that has gone everywhere and done so much as a puppy and now this! 🙄 I am not sure yet if I will show him on Sunday…I spent all of my day today at parks and in pretty downtown Lindsay trying to 'show' Tain that not everyone is going to 'hurt' him etc. Talk about not only frustrating yet upsetting….sigh…HUGE thanks sent out to all that offered to help me with Tain and petted him, offered him treats(for him NOT to take treats means he is so stressed!), was so patient and kind to him and to me as we were out and about. THANKS also to the stag plus wedding partyers at my hotel for also being so wonderful with him!
Sunday April 26th under Judge Mr. R. Lopaschuk – 2nd place in class – It was not until about half an hour before ring time that I decided to actually show Tain. I took him to the show grounds early, we walked around, I got his RWD picture(his win from Friday) taken and then we spent about half an hour just practising and playing in a free ring….I also credit Sean for I spent about 20 minutes on my cell talking to him and he just gave me that final boost I needed to make the final decision. Tain had more than met my goals for today and I wanted to end on a good note and I let Tain's body language tell me how he felt(he was tired yet fairly relaxed) yet we then met this little Frenchie puppy and she was so kind as to allow her to play with Tain(apparently she just loves the big dogs and plays with a Harle all the time) and that really did the most therapy for Tain than I ever could. We went into the ring and did our best and I have a new problem to fix of his sidewinding/moving laterally on the 'go at large' yet I can work with that. He stood still, barely attempting to try and sit when the Judge touched his hind end and stacked like a pro! I am gaiting him on the diagonal on my right to help prevent his lateral movement and so, SUCCESS was ours today….while we did not take any points, WE gained so much more than that; Tain's confidence and while he is still wary; I am hoping that I can have a friend or two take him overnight or for a weekend to help him with that as well. ANY TAKERS? 😉 HUGE thanks to all the support shown to Tain and I and we are blessed!
