A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let the journey begin.
This is a good effort to straighten her up. But every time you bend over to 'fix' her, you hurt your back and Sofie is more than willing to comply to let you constantly 'fix' her.Stop fixing her, she needs to take responsibility for her position and your constant fixing her is robbing her of whay is her accountability to find correct Heel position.
Suggestion: Put the Front Place Board on top of the KLimb on the far left side so there IS an elevated surface. Heel her up onto the elevated KLimb and Front Place Board. Now, if she flares she will fall off (do recommend you have a soft rug under her when you do this) and let her fall off the KLimb. You may help her with your knee and leash pressure to get straight, but you are to cease you fixing her.
Or find another elevated surface to do this on where if she flares she falls off or if she doesn't give you a correct straight Tuck Sit on her Front Place Board, your knee and leash pressure helps her 'find' the correct position.
