Teaching your dog a stationing behavior helps to decrease the amount of physical handling and restraint you need to do during cooperative care procedures.
Stationing behaviors give your dog more agency and control over how they move and position themselves which is a powerful feeling.
Personally, I love a chin rest with the use of a towel that your dog can target with their chin. This way the towel becomes the cue and you can then move it to different spots depending on how you need your dog to be positioned.
