As most of you know, I am planning on showing my boy Lucius in the next couple of months. We have been working hard getting him ready. I have been working daily on stand, stacking,step, catch bait and watch. I am in the process of teaching him to free stack and to read my body language. I am a COMPLETE NOVICE when it comes to this so I am taking advice from my breeders, dobe friends, and of course you great people on DT!
So what is the best way to teach him to free stack? I would love to hear what you guys do to teach this? Do you first focus on the front feet or back?
I do go to a handling class once a week but she isn't very experience with Dobermans. I am in the process of hiring someone to help me privately who has lots of experience.
Oh I have also been doing some obedience with him at home and he is picking up very quickly by watching his big sister!
I am very proud of both of my dogs!
