If Wrinkles doesn't go for the: "you are going to have a great time and make new friends" speech, try this one: "We all have a job to do for the kennel....Your job is to look pretty and win the big ribbon." That's the one we use on Robbie when he is on his way to his handlers. Works pretty darned well, if I do say so myself. Myra
