Mine won't do it - if her front paws come up, she's about to do one of her patented Amazing Labrador Levitations - straight up about 5 feet in the air.

I'm working on "sit pretty" on the haunches with the forepaws held up at the chest - but it's not easy. We're "shaping" with the clicker. I really ought to carry the clicker with me at all times so I can "shape" if she does it spontaneously. There are a lot of cute things she does naturally that I would love to train in . . . in between training her for agility trials AND hunt tests . . .

BTW, wish us luck. Two-day AKC agility trial tomorrow . . . if she gets one qualifying score on either day in Standard or Jumpers she will pick up her Novice titles. . . then she'll have letters after her name and get even more full of herself than she is now . . . :-D
