Teaching my Lionhead Jr Doe to pose (help!)?

So I show and raise rabbits with ARBA and 4-H. My favorite Jr doe does not get the concept of posing. It's not that she's not upright, it's that she will not stay in pose once I take my hands away! She just slumps back down into sitting position and relaxes.

My doe is 3 months old, show weight (1 lb 12 oz) and a perfect example of the breed if not for the posing.

Any techniques or suggestions?

Thanks a million!

    ugh thats tough... I show and raise Hollands and Nethelands and they pose upright also.

    Mostly I hold up a treat for them and let them eat it when they are posing. As you know you hold theie head up with your fingers

    Also what I did with my one who was not posing is I pushed it up into a position that was too tight and head was too high and when it relaxed it relaxed right where I wanted it to! Now she sits in her cage posed all the time!

    Good Luck I hope this was a help.
