Yes, I posted that link a looooong time ago.

A couple people I met said they used it and it worked to help to train their dog to stand in the correct position for judging. The stand is adjustable so you can get the feet placement correct for your dog, then you just practice having him stand on it and holding that position.

However, it is expensive and you can get the same results having your dog stand on 4 bricks or 4 wood blocks. Plus, it is easy to move bricks and blocks. You can really use your imagination.

Sorry for the late reply on this. I use happy legs to start all of our litters out. I think they are one of the best training aids for getting a puppy acquainted with stacking, baiting etc.

They also assure you that you can get some awesome pics at the same time. We have a couple of pics of our last litter on them on our website that you can see.

A good training aid, but they are a bit expensive and if I only had one dog to work on them, I might use something else, such as veggie cans, bricks, etc. that you could possibly achieve the same results with. Since we use them for multiple puppies, the happy legs themselves work great for us.
