Kennel Club speaks out against show stackers

The Kennel Club this week expressed its condemnation and concern over the use
of a supposed training aid called a ‘show stacker’ within the dog showing world.


Show stackers are designed to encourage dogs to learn how to stand in the show ring by forcing a dog to balance on four small raised plinths to recreate where its feet should be placed on the ground during judging. The dog is thus forced to stand still or risk falling off.



The claim of outlets for the show stacker is that it can be used to train very young puppies to stand still and learn to stand-four square, or to retrain older dogs whose feet fall incorrectly when stacked in the ring. It is also claimed that the stackers are used to make dogs stand still whilst having nails
or hair clipped from around the legs and feet.
