Stacking: Form, Endurance, Strategy
Technical mastery and purposeful handling for the conformation ring.
Service Description
A proper stack is more than posture—it’s presentation, performance, and purpose. In this focused 30-minute mentorship session, Chester L. Rose, Jr., All-Breed Professional Handler and PAWS Ahead™ Mentor, walks you through the nuances of stacking with both artistry and intent. Drawing from decades of in-ring success and breed-specific expertise, Chester demonstrates both hand-stacking and free-stacking techniques, while teaching handlers how to build their dog’s precision, balance, and stamina. You'll learn how to identify when each stacking style is most effective in the ring—and how to train your dog to hold a confident, correct stance under pressure. Whether you're preparing for your first show or refining your presentation for the next level, this session will elevate your ability to present with polish, control, and breed-specific accuracy.

Every adjustment you make—from foot placement to focus—can shift the outcome. My goal is to help you understand what judges look for, how to train for consistency, and how to bring out the best in your dog every time you step into the ring." – Chester L.
