She is just 5 months, its a proper sturdy table that our ringcraft use with a rubber top and no wobble, she is going through a plonking phase and I dont want to be holding her up whilst the judge goes over her lol

How about just tickling gently on the tummy in front of the hind leg? This usually makes a dog stand, then when she is standing you can click & treat (if you use a clicker). Once standing well you can then work on the placement of the feet.

I train my Cavaliers by feeding them strips of cooked chicken whilst they stand & just tickle gentlely tickle their testicles so they get used to being sexed on a table. I also teach them to free stand on the floor by treating them the same way whilst they stand with chicken strips

I also give them a quiet command of stand & show.

This has even worked on a very nervous dog who was manhandled by firstly a vet(tried quite roughly to check his testicles at 10 weeks)& then a judge who pushed his lips up to check his teeth with his nicotine stained fingers
