Just wanted to pass this along. Fletcher isn't the fondest of showing, although he has made a huge improvement since he was a puppy. One of the things that I think has held him back from a couple of wins was his lack of showing ears to the judge. A breeder friend of mine suggested I start tossing him popcorn for treats to get him to put his ears up. It's definitely working at home, but we will have to see how it carries forward at his next show 10-11 Oct. I just wanted to post this trick in case anyone else wants to try the technique.

I teach the command "ears" to get my dogs ears up. All you do is pair it with the food toss or just cupture it with a clicker so then all you need to do is say "ears" and the ears go up.
