at a class recently the instructor showed us how she is using a clicker to teach her dogs to free stack, so now I need to get a clicker- she starts small, adding in a bit more each session, start with placement of front feet, the look, then back feet. The breeder I started with also showed me to lean into my dog to back her up into a sit then walk her into a stand, rewarding what you want to see. found teaching "stretch" also helpful, but that one took some time, my dobes are just so food motivated! want to get to the food, hate waiting
