Dog Show Tips

When exhibiting dogs, a few basics are necessary to keep in mind
to be able to present the dog in the best possible manner to the
judge. Chief among these, is the skill of stacking. It is absolutely a
skill, one that many either take for granted, or take an inordinately
fussy approach towards.

In this video, Will Alexander, a Canadian former professional
handler, shows us the basics of hard stacking. Mr. Alexander,
who has only recently retired, is one of those rarefied people
who has turned this skill into an art form, as evidenced by his
long and prolific career as a professional. Here, he gives us an
inking of how he attained such. He gives us tips and tricks, and
demonstrates how to stack both large dogs, and dogs that need
to be put on a table, and he does so in a way that is easy to follow.
