How can I get Fred to distribute his weight evenly when I stack him?
We are working on a better free stack, which is really helping as it means he places his front better and I just lengthen his back legs out a bit. Problem is this is heavily relying on bait at the moment, so involves me only having one hand free.
But if I need to adjust at all, he let's me move his feet happily, but he bends and contortes and looks wonky. And I notice he will tend to put his weight unevenly, so for eg, one shoulder will drop slightly, or he will tilt slightly.
He is good about his feet being moved etc, but I feel like I really knock him off kilter. I've tried turning his head to adjust his weight when I move his feet, but he doesn't seem to readjust and just freezes where I move him. I want him to relax into it more and stand perky....
Any tips?
