If you’ve trained your dog to stand on its rear legs, or it does it all by itself, then you’ve likely wondered what kind of damage it would do to a dog’s legs?

In truth, it doesn’t really hurt them. Dogs are usually only standing for a few seconds, then they have to come back down. If you are holding your dog’s front paws and pretending to dance with it, it’s not entirely a bad thing, just don’t do it for too long.

Dogs have, on the rare occasion, been known to join in if they see people in a conga line. Dogs are curious, and feel the need to partake in this instance, and so they go up on their hind legs and, with difficulty, are actually able to follow in the line for a couple of seconds.

If you visit the veterinary clinic Caledonia, you can find more information on this.
