Blueboybilly 164 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Just wanted some advice on where / how folks are measuring their dogs to the shoulder. To me it is not obvious where it is that you measure to. Obviously there must be a standard place but I'm not sure where that is because I think that I have been measuring my dog to the back rather than to the shoulder!! ? Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 If you run your hand down the dogs neck you'll feel a bump where it reaches the dogs body. That's the top of the shoulder blades and that's where you measure to, same as with a horse. To be really accurate you should put a small spirit level across and measure from the floor to the bottom of the level but exact height isn't that important. 1 Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 th.jpeg Never seen a towel used like that before but it's a good idea as dogs that are at all submissive tend to flop all over the place as soon as you start trying to do anything like that. Quote Link to post
