How to Diagnose Dog Coat Fit Issues (Before You Adjust the Pattern)

Last week I shared real customer photos showing a dog coat fit issue. Today I’m breaking it down at the pattern level and showing you how I identify the true root cause. When a dog coat pulls at the front leg or shifts out of balance, it’s rarely just “too tight” or “too loose.” Fit problems are structural. Chest width, front height, withers position, and overall balance can create similar symptoms — but each requires a different correction. In this live session I walk through: • How I assess a fit issue systematically • Which measurements I verify first • How I use the Fit Flowchart to isolate the cause • Why surface symptoms often mislead makers This is the diagnostic process I use before adjusting any pattern. Because precision fit starts with accurate evaluation — not guesswork. Start with proper measurement: Free 4-Step Measuring Workbook: https://www.thankdogwemadeit.com/f/4-...
