[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 544210"] I agree on both points Keren. I always teach the kids the same thing... it IS possible to have an eye on everything, and it's something you need to do. As for the noise thing, on more than a few occasions I have won both parader and breed classes from the little noises, and talking, I do with my animal. It is possible to make very discrete murmurings and 'clucks' to prick those ears, and to calm the animal. With the showstick, I always fit the stick to the handler, and teach the kids to stand their animals up as much as possible using rocking on the halter, and little pressure on the shoulder. It is more important that the handler is comfortable with the stick than that they can reach the back feet, especially when it is a child leading the animal. [/QUOTE]
