I was working on Duration with Nad on his back so I could put the herbal compress on his snakebite. Using Chutes and Ladders we got up to 12 seconds with him being perfectly still.
I saw this discussed on a KPA thread. It is really cool to teach our dogs this behavior ( on a table) so that it may be possible to take hip x-rays without sedation, and ultrasounds for pregnant bitches and there are probably many more reasons like the one you and Nadador are illustrating. It was suggested we also practice spreading and stretching their legs out ( only to a comfortable place of course) for those x-rays that concern elbows, joints etc.
