happy feet

My boy lab is 2yrs old and will not keep his feet in place when being hand stacked,free stacks fine. Sure could like some help on this one.

Re: happy feet

Don't even try to stack him until he is completely calm and relaxed. Stand next to him and speak to him very, very quietly while gently stroking his back. Once he is completely calm and relaxed, very quietly place one foot at a time. If he starts to wiggle, start over. Keep it up until he is finally able to stand for a little while. Praise VERY quietly.

Re: happy feet

Thank you so very much, I love my boy and I love his personality. He wants to make me happy, I never speak to him with a stern voice. What should I do so that he understands what I want him to do.
