Mistakes When Stacking the Front Legs (and how to fix them!)

A few handling techniques explained from our new mini-course, coming soon! Let’s talk about 3 common mistakes when stacking your dog’s front legs…
Moving your dog’s leg forward to match the leg the farthest forward, rather than moving the leg back to match the leg farthest back
Picking up the dog between the front legs to stack the front legs, rather than stacking each leg individually by the elbow
Picking up the leg anywhere other than by the elbow

Would love to see a video stacking a giant breed or even large when you have trouble reaching over while keeping control of the head.

[@anushkaathukorala_vonserendib]

Very helpful video. Can you show the correct way of stacking a GSD back legs?

[@Sarah.Adina.Creative]

Thank you! This is so helpful! I’m starting late with my puppy at 6months and I’m a newbie so this is sooo helpful! Thank you ☺️🙌💗

Thank you ❤

[@eunice8116]

Thank you how do you teach a dog to keep head straight

[@trishmccarty1628]

Great video! What do you do with the leash when you are holding the head? If you drop it, when do you pick it up?

[@Sarah.Adina.Creative]

In other videos she has said she prefers it long enough to loop behind her neck and over her shoulders. 🙌

Could you do a video that helps me to know what to fix while stacking. I have a Saint Bernard and I’m not sure what is off by looking over my dog. I hope this makes sense. I really like your videos, you make it very easy to understand.

We have lots of stacking videos, but if you're trying to fix "what is looking off" with your stack, we'd recommend you send us a video for our next webinar Q&A!

Would love to see on and off the table. I feel like for larger table breeds, it gets messy picking them up and placing them on the table, such as the Miniature American Shepherd when some of the dogs are 30 lbs. So wondering what is the most fluid way to get them from the floor to the table and table to floor without it looking like a mess.
