What a lovely "problem" to have - be aware of how awful it COULD be - there is a lady at my ringcraft with a dog who is so nervous it attacks any dog near it and goes for the judge - it is inappropriate of her to continue stressing the dog by bringing it as she has so much more to work on before ringcraft but that's beside the point !!
Your girl won't always be a playful baby - and experience will make such a difference to her. She will get there - just remember the positive - at least it looks like she will enjoy the ring
I'm with Julie here. Your dog will calm down with age anD experience. Now try workinG from the other side - a dogs who is outgoing, reasonably confident and relaxed outside the ring turning into miss cardboard in the ring!! Not even the smelliest, tastiest, garlic sausage, cheese, anything will do it!!
I use edam cheese when we train and at show practise. She gets so distracted, she had her tea at 5 so she wouldnt be car sick and the class was at 8pm.

Hi i don't feed before showing or exercise she only needs to pay attention when the judge is looking at your dog and when the judge is going to choose her winners, let her rest in between don't over do it she may be getting bored try and find something small enough to keep in your pocket that gets her attention i.e a small teddy or something but only use it when things are getting hard some dogs love to show some don't, hope this help but keep trying new things
