tip
Standing still for measuring is an important skill for dogs to have. Most people don’t have a regulation measuring device at home, so I have my students practice using a coat hanger. The shape of a coat hanger is very similar to the arm of a measuring device and you can rest it on the dog’s shoulders to replicate that part of the measuring process. Start with teaching the relaxed stand at home; then have the handler incorporate swinging the coat hanger over the dog’s back. Next touch the dog’s shoulders with the hanger.When the dog is comfortable with that, a friend or spouse can do the coat hanger part.Then bring the hanger along to class and have other people or strangers move it over the dog’s shoulders.
