| Very simple: use different collars and leashes for both your training and your events.
Reward attention in obedience.
Reward correct stance in breed.
If you ignore the attention in breed handling, it will not be rewarded and the behaviour will die down. It takes time, but it will work.
Build in cue words, phrases the tell the dog which is coming up next.
Also be sure you're rewarding the correct stance on an equal frequency as you are attention. If you're rewarding attention more, he's going to try that more, as it's a successful behaviour.
