Had a bit of a training session last night, and she seemed to do quite well. I dont have a clicker, so I just clicked my tongue, when she was right, and gave a treat quickly.
I have been placing her like you said, Freelancerukuk, and all is well, until I take my hand off her, so I will try keeping my hand on her chest longer.
This will be the third dog I trained for the show ring, and I just dont remember this much issue with a stand before! Mind you, I have never had a dog with a broken leg before Reba either. I am wanting to get her to the point that I have the other dogs too, Sonny and Cher. They will do a perfect, solid as a rock stand, on the table if I just touch their collars. I think it looks so amazing, compared to the other handlers that will man handle their dogs into a stand. Cher has gotten to the point if I try to hold her like that, then she will fight every inch, but if I touch her collar, then she is rock solid. But I do know that takes time and training, and it was done young on Cher (Sonny was older at 3 years when he was trained this)
I am doing training throughout the day, and at Reba's dinner time. Hopefully that will be enough training, and that she wont pull her leg up when at a show!
I am going to try doing the back opposite leg thing you described as well. See if that helps.
I am just glad, that her stand on the ground is absolutely great! I will also work on her, from the ground, and then try and transfer it on the table.
I just wish, at times like this, Min Pins werent so smart!
