while we dont plant do go to shows, i want to send professional looking photos to the breeder to document our puppies growth and frame thank you so so much for this! exactly the kind of video we were looking for! also thats a STUNNING dog 💕💕💕💕
Great share for those wanting to learn the ropes for a show dog. My Dogo Argentino tends to sit and go on her back for a belly rub, guessing I'll have to go under her belly to get to her feet for stacking. Hope we can have an interactive session for potential issues while training myself and my pup on stacking.
Work on a basic stay command and everytime you place a foot tell her to stay. Also start just picking up and placing the feet super fast (even not in the right place) so she learns to stay when you place feet. Slowly work up to the right placement and holding for longer periods of time.
Could you share what type and brand of lead you have on her in the video? It looks like a chain collar with a nylon lead, but curious if it’s one piece or something else. Looking for good show accessories for my new Aussie as he and I both learn how to compete in conformation!
Sorry I completely missed your comment! It is two pieces. A chain choker and a nylon lead with beads. Both I buy at vendors at the show but you can find online as well.
Thanks so mcuh for a very informative and easy to folllow video! I have to teach my boy this ready for his next show. Next we need to work on him being touched by male judges. Any advice?
Sorry I completely missed this! I would take him to a store and have random men give him treats and a pet. Then when he’s comfortable with that, take to a show and have men examine him. Start with very fast exams just touching the topline and slowly increase the intensity/length of exam. Also alternate between men and woman so it’s not all scary!
It’s a small slip or choke chain they call it. Here’s a video that has more info on the collar and less options: th-cam.com/video/LZmF2hK-Tto/w-d-xo.html
How do you get your dog to stay this calm to stack? Mines would swirl and twirl, flip and fall if I try. By the time I get to the right legs she’s already moved
Teaching a solid stay first and get some energy out before training if they are too excited. Start by stacking one leg, tell them stay, and reward after a few seconds if they stay. Slowly lengthen the time and add the other legs
The first step is to teach stay so that when you do start to stack, your dog stays put. Start by picking up and placing one foot only and waiting a few seconds before rewarding. Slowly increase the time and add in more feet until you can successfully place all 4 without your dog moving.
You should practice wherever you will be stacking your dog in the ring whether that is ground or table. On the ground if you’re dog is too wiggly, you can start with the table first
do you have advice for teaching a puppy to stack? I heard that the breeder has to begin training them from as soon as they can walk! i'm not really looking to show just more for learning (if i show in the future) and getting some nice growth pics!
Breeder doesn’t have to start but it does help. I’d suggest getting stacking blocks to train on. And also teach stay first so that when you place the feet and say stay, they actually hold still for the photo!
Yes depends on the breed. That is common mostly in sporting breeds but not for Aussies. Normally that is done when you want to extend the neck forward instead of up.
Yes! I’ve thought about making a video for this too once I have a puppy that needs to learn. First teach them the concept of stay. Once they know that, start by stacking just the front feet and don’t worry about if the placement is correct yet. Literally just pick up foot, place anywhere, say stay, wait a few seconds and reward. Gradually increase the time of the stay and placing the feet in the right place. Make sure you don’t have food in your hand or they will wiggle around to get it. Any time they move a foot, say “no” or whatever your correction sound is and put that foot back to where it was. A solid stay command is important first! Good luck!! 😉
She is on the small side but an Australian Shepherd. By AKC there is only one size of Aussie. The “mini” is a Miniature American Shepherd and there is no recognized toy breed.
I got mine at the dog show vendor Paws & Tails but there are a lot of online places and Facebook groups to find them too if you search for dog show lead.
You can try luring them forward with a treat or train with stacking blocks. On the blocks if you push them lightly backwards, they should bring themselves forward to avoid falling off and come out of the post.
Kent Bryle Maga I’d suggest getting some stacking blocks. This should help! Also train on a table so they cannot wiggle around too much without falling (but be ready to catch them).

This is the best stacking video I've found so far! Looking forward to seeing your future content :)
Levi Full Impact k9 Thank you!! 😁
I agree
Thanks for the vid. This is my first year doing the Dog project as one of my 4-H project this year in this video helped out a lot.
Awesome informative video. I tried the same technique with my cat. The bandages come off next week.
👍🏼
😂
My dog would NOT stand still. I had to stack him on a grooming table so he would stop walking and wiggling!
Nice. Newbie here so I appreciate you sharing what you’ve learned.
I try to keep them coming!
Really helpful, clear instructions, thank you so much 😊🇬🇧
Thank you for this. Very well explained.
took me a minute to get her to do it but in the end i got there thank you this helped to much❤
Awesome!!
Amazing. And Porsche is such a good girl.
Yes she is! 🤩
@@sandollaraussies
We dont reach OVER the dog, reach under so you"re not blocking the judge s view of your dog.
My Vizsla has a show soon, good tips. Thanks!
Good luck!
What do I do if my dog moves and wiggles everytime I try to stack her or once I get her front then move to the back she moves her front end again
Work on a basic stay command and everytime you place a foot tell her to stay. Also start just picking up and placing the feet super fast (even not in the right place) so she learns to stay when you place feet. Slowly work up to the right placement and holding for longer periods of time.
Plan to do some fun stacking with my dog as a new thing to do
I found this useful as a junior handler :D

mendotta/slip lead

I’m learning but what collar are you using ?

One thing I learned is that, you can bring the lead around your neck depending on the dog, and hold the head when you are stacking.
Yes depends on the breed. That is common mostly in sporting breeds but not for Aussies. Normally that is done when you want to extend the neck forward instead of up.
Thank you for this info!

I noticed that periodically you tug on her ear, what information are you conveying to the dog by doing this?
I don’t tug on their ear. I’m adjusting the collar to be right behind the ear so that it isn’t messy with their neck hair
Ive wanted a Aussie for so long, im wondering what type yours is? Standard, mini, toy? If its a standard they're not that big but still big

Great video!!! Where can I get a thin lead like that?
I got mine at the dog show vendor Paws & Tails but there are a lot of online places and Facebook groups to find them too if you search for dog show lead.
Very helpful!!
I think my dog would do that I have a hard time because he would try to bark at other dogs but I can control him
Thankyou very useful :)
Good job you both . ❤️
Is this for all dog breeds or just this specific breed?
Kaida Ureten 99% of breeds! Exception would be German Shepherds where the back feet are stacked differently
Sandollar Aussies Okay! Thank you!
I need my frenchie to do this
That is a good dog
Hi iam new to this channel
Can i aks u one thing where I get Aussie in India
Manju Nath Unfortuntely I’m not sure. I would search on the internet for National Dog Clubs in your area and see if they have Breeder directories.
What do you do if your dog keeps posting 😢
You can try luring them forward with a treat or train with stacking blocks. On the blocks if you push them lightly backwards, they should bring themselves forward to avoid falling off and come out of the post.
Im having a really hard time training my dog to stack
Kent Bryle Maga I’d suggest getting some stacking blocks. This should help! Also train on a table so they cannot wiggle around too much without falling (but be ready to catch them).
Howwwwww how, i beg you, how do you do that that your house is dog hair free? 🙏
Oh it’s definitely not dog hair free 🤣
I am fixing to get a border collie and do shows with him or her probably he
"actually you're supposed to stack the other side than the judge 🤓"
Judge side first since that’s what the Judge sees
@@sandollaraussies I was trolling thank you this helped me today was the first time I have shown a dog and this video helped so much
poor dog. it's a possession and trophy. not a family member.
Clearly you don’t know me
