Instructions
Tape a piece of paper to a wall approximately the height of your dog at your dog's shoulder.
Stand your dog in profile next to a wall.
Lay the ruler flat on top of your dog's shoulders so that the edge touches the paper and the ruler sits on the highest point of his shoulders (called the withers.)
Mark the bottom of the ruler where it touches the paper. Be sure to keep the ruler level.
Move the dog and measure from the mark to the ground with a tape measure. That will be your dog's height.
