I'm sure I'll feel more natural in time, but for now I constantly feel awkward and off balance. I am having a blast though. Critique welcome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WvUcvJ8Gw8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkDOr2bnYMY

Square your shoulders and hips to the dog, put your feet at or just past shoulder width, bend your knees slightly, and push backwards with your legs when needed instead of leaning (ie: try to keep your torso upright). That's essentially a martial art "horse" stance and can be fairly powerful. http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7701/neilpatrickharris.jpg

It is hard to tell in the video but it does not look like you put the line behind your back? Wrapping the line around your back as you hold gives extra support. http://www.psychtkennel.com
