Handling Class

Standing perfectly with Happy Legs


Doesn't it look like she is laughing....See Dad I got this
We headed out for another handling class tonight. What we didn't know was Sadie decided it was time to act up a little at class. I think she is getting quite comfortable there. She starts wagging her little tail and jumping around as soon as we pull in. And why wouldn't she.....she LOVES the instructor and the other puppy that was there, she can't wait to get in the building and start playing with him and then go over to Sarah (the instructor) to say hello. So she didn't really want to get down to business tonight. Sarah had us do a once around the ring, then another "to get the willies out" lol. Then it was time for stacking on the table and of course little miss Sadie had other ideas. As soon as Sarah came over to "judge her" she start moving all over not sitting still. Sarah said I'll be right back. Back in the building she came with a box, with what we now know as Happy Legs. The box opens and there are four squares that you can secured to the bottom of the box by magnets. You then place your dogs paws on each on the four squares and that teaches them to stand still in place on the table. Wasn't quite sure about this at first, but I put Sadie's feet on them and it worked like a charm. She stood great! Almost as if to say "I can do this!" Sarah let us take it home to practice with it during the week.
