My dog was taught to sit on its hind legs and beg. I thought this position would help its back bone if it had a correct posture. Of course, I do not let the dog do it often. Just when it wants to jump on me I let its front paws rest on my left arm. I then let the dog sit on its hind legs like it was begging.
Soon, my dog got used to the position. I was able to take away my hand and there it was sitting straight and tall with its front paws balancing its body.
Sometimes, it cant balance itself and down it goes. The dog can make me laugh when it loses its balance. I dont know if it really helped or not but the dog didnt have any back problem that I know of throughout its life.
My dog was able to do this trick only if it had a supporting hand. All I had to do was put my left arm across my chest and use my right hand to tap on my left arm. I would say "Up, up" and my dog would jump up and rest its front paws on my left arm. I could only show this trick to those who love dogs and would not be afraid to be near one.
My dog doesnt like strangers. It would growl and show its teeth to visitors no matter how much I try to keep it quiet. I did not like to use a dog muzzle and usually, my dog would be in a leash. But there are some people who have a way with dogs and if they are not afraid of the dog, it would quiet down and let strangers play with it. I was pleased to show them my dogs begging trick.
