I would start with teaching the dog to down and over, when he allows you to turn him from side to side on his back, you will have developed a sufficient amout fo trust with the dog. At that point put him in a stand and start by lifting his rear leg off the ground, then place him back into the stand, do the same with the front. After he has become comfortble with that you can move to the side and lift him fully off the ground.

Rob,
I am a K-9 handler inside of a detention center (jail) and courthouse. The answer I believe in a word is TRUST. When I first saw a tressell walk I thought, when will I ever come across something like this. Obstacle courses and obstacles are great trust builders: Example, first muzzell youy dog, put him unto the tressel walk, stop him half way across, wait a minute till you see him show some uneasyness, then lift him off and down. He should relax right away.Find these various everyday things that make him say "boy am I sure glad Daddy got me outta there". Also use the obstacles to make him believe that what daddy tells me to do is O.K., and then praise him up good. I would say that once you feel comfortable with the muzzel move to his favorite toy/reward in his teeth and then of course nothing. Trust, respect and bonding,all very important for the new handler. Good Luck!
This is ironic - my dog was 'chopped' as it showed to much fear in pressure situations and was regarded as unsuitable for police work - I now have a 'new, dog to train -a Czech shepherd - easy to lift over gates fences etc....yehaa!!
