WW418: Nov 26- Pop and Lock: Teaching a Pop Stand

Let’s teach a pop stand! Why?! The primary answer is fun. For dogs who love to do a high hand touch or even bounce high in the air, they will LOVE their new stand.

For a more serious answer, it’s a fast and easy way of teaching a kickback type of stand in heel position and getting the weight shift you want for a very fast “moving stand" without any forward motion.

Some of you may have seen my dog’s astronaut style boings and may think that this isn’t for your dog! To reassure you, MOST dogs will only lift their front feet in the air on their “pop,” not all 4!

In this workshop we will discuss

- 2 different styles of training a pop stand: popping forward and popping back

- Bringing your pop stand into heel position

- Teaching a moving pop stand!
