Happy Legs

Anybody use these? What is your preferred method of stacking? I know some use bricks. What do others use?

Thanks

In the handling class I am taking, the instructor suggested tuna cans. They have been working quite well on Luna, and they are a whole lot cheaper than Happy Legs.

Our handler had a friend make his own and used it one time with our boy then after that did it right on the ground with great results and very little lessons. I didn't even work with him at home, when he was at shows he just did it and held that stance. I think it's easier for some then others, you just have to do what works .

Thanks guys!

Do you find the tuna cans slide? Do you practice stacking on alot of different surfaces?

My dog's legs are on the long side. Many times when you see the stack, the dog is pictured almost squatting from the rear? Is the dog taught how to do this at a young age?

I've been using the tuna cans on concrete and have not had any problems with the cans sliding; however, I imagine if they are used on a slicker surface, I imagine they might. In that case, I'd probably put some thing on the bottom of the can to give it some grip.

Also, I'm using unopened tuna cans, not empty ones.
