Standing you dog \u2013 part 2
\n<\/strong>When standing your dog they can either be stacked or free stood. Most breeds will have a certain way of standing them, although some breeds it is acceptable to either stack and top and tail, or free stand them. Below I will explain about free standing your dog. If you have a stacked dog, please refer to Standing your dog \u2013 part 1 blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Free stood dogs
\n<\/strong>Free stood dogs are those who are stood with little or no touching and the handler normally stands in front of the dog.<\/p>\n

It can be said that a free-stood dog is more difficult to show although I find a free stood dog is harder to train. Once trained a free stood dog can be a dream to show.<\/p>\n

It does require a certain amount of understanding between dog and handler to get the perfect stance but with training and patience it does happen.<\/p>\n

If required then you can position your dog\u2019s feet by hand, then adopt a position in front of them. Some breeds though are traditionally stood with no intervention from the handler.<\/p>\n

No matter how you stand your dog though, it is important that you keep their attention on you and on the job in hand.<\/p>\n

If your dog is a fidget, move them back then walk him forward into the stand or take you dog round in a circle. Personally I prefer to teach my dogs \u2018backwards\u2019 and \u2018forwards\u2019.<\/p>\n

To keep your dogs attention there are many ways to try and each dog will be different. Winning Paws<\/a> can help you work out the best way to stand your dog and keep their attention so they stay still.<\/p>\n
