These are some awesome tips, thank you! I do see other competitors doing the spine thing and thought it was just to fix the jacket 😂

youre out here doing the lords work! thank you for this! my spoo doesnt like to put his legs back down after i move them. its been frustrating. idk what to do about it. he also likes to sit down as soon as i touch his tail. my coach just has me scoop his stomach up every time he tries to do that.

You can use your dog’s head to help encourage them to place their feet back down. If you lift the left foot when you want him to put it back down push his head a bit to the left to ‘weight’ that side of the body. (Don’t just turn the nose but keep the head facing straight forward but push the whole head so the neck and then the body will shift that way) For the sitting you could try to stack while having a knee or an object under his stomach so he is unable to sit. You want to break the habit of the sit first. Also play and let the tail when you’re not working on stacking so he gets used to his tail being touched and considers it more positive.

Great info, could you make a video showing how to start training a puppy for stacking? Your dog is gorgeous and well trained!

Unfortunately, I don't currently have a puppy to show that with. Sorry!

How you tought your dog to lean forward. my barely nine month old poodle is doing everything you said in this video, she is pasing, and she tends to put her paws facing not straigt but more to the outside. we are pacticing every day next to the mirror she is anatomically very beautiful. but im stugling to show her how to stand correclt how to make her lean forward.
