I (we) admire your stacking training and the results!Most of my camera roll is stack photos lately since we’ve been training a lot. We have a big show coming up

SUPER!!! Looking forward to your thoughts and stories - rest up first, trialing is exhausting!
Is he doing his impression of that grumpy cat that was famous a decade ago or so?I can’t stop laughing at Elroy those lips
Both dogs got a bully stick yesterday since Elroy didn't touch is beef cheek roll at the show the day before.
This was an hour or two later and a certain little black girl had both of them. You can't see the second one from this angle but it was there.

Thank you! I try not to post too many and bore people
We are pretty far from bored! If you see anything conformation related with Z that we can improve and how you got Remy where he is, we are all eyes and ears! She does great at home, letting me move her limbs around. She does less great at shows, where she would really like to play with an adjacent dog. Some of solving that will just be exposure and practice in show environments, I suppose.Thank you! I try not to post too many and bore people

I’m far from an expert! I just train a lot. Honestly there are many sessions that I didn’t do/get a single stack that I liked… I like to take a video every time we train. I feel like you can learn a lot when watching the videos, plus it’s nice to look back and see how you’ve improved. (I also watch what I’m doing in real time either with a mirror or just on my phone screen.) It helps to see what you’re doing and how that makes the dog look. You’ll also pick up on any bad habits you may have when stacking. For me that’s moving Remy’s rear left leg too far back, usually when it didn’t need to be moved at all lol. I’m more mindful of this now.
More exposure should help. Dog shows are a pretty unnatural environment with lots to take in. I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned this before, but taking handling classes will likely help a lot. If you don’t have any locally, I would just train in other environments where other dogs are present. I know someone who does this *outside* of a dog park.

We are making some serious progress in training! Riley has "place" down pretty well. He made it all the way through me cooking dinner! 
The last 2 days when I go in the kitchen to start dinner, Riley takes his place at the far end of the kitchen to wait his turn for dinner. He's really turning into a nice boy! So proud of him!

Just driving back from granny and pops house. Car harness in use and totally worth it.
She knows when we get close to granny and pop’s the squealing and moaning intensifies. They didn’t think a Doberman was a good choice for our family- because a Doberman
…now guess who they just adore as their granddog?!

Oh yes they’re all in love! Pepper is an absolute seal for them so well behaved.Awwww... she won them over! And she loves them too.?
I know as soon as we make a specific turn she knows and the nosies start! Haha
My Greta used to sit like that everywhere she went. Our Vet had a picture on the wall of her sitting in the waiting with her butt on the chair like she owned the place! She was also the talk of the river when we took her on the boat, Just sitting in the seat, nose in the air, just crusing the river! LOL!
