To build hind end strength, my vet wants me to teach Venice to a doggy squat - beg to a stand on hind limbs, back to a beg without her front paws touching the ground.

Any video tutorials out there? I started luring from beg to 'meerkat' (stand on back legs) which she can do, but very quickly an uncontrolled - the strength to go slow and steady isn't there yet.

Kootenay, I saw photos (video maybe? I can't remember) of Onyx doing beg to stand so wondered if you had any input.

Here's a video that I searched up on Youtube.

Here's an article about conditioning that touches on squats by Chaz's own elegy.

The basic takeaway is to offer support to start, and treat it as a conditioning exercise and not a trick, if that's your goal. So feed along the way, keep it slow and luring is okay.
