Hi, I cannot really answer you since I am more into the working side than show side but you may want to consider the age of the dog. If he is still just a puppy, it might just be a stage that he is growing through. If he is an older dog, the "do not know how to use the hind leg to push,he put all the weight in front leg" worries me more. Generally, if the dog is structurally well-balanced you will not have that problem since the dogs movement should just be fluid. If the dog is not put together well, then it will be a hard time to make him move like he is. As for the posting, it may just be that you need more practice stacking the dog. The book will help there. Use a mirror in front of you so you can see right away where you are placing the front legs. Also,pick up the dogs front legs by the elbow to reposition them. That is the easiest way to position them straight.

thank you very much!Tbay yes it is a puppy 8 mon old.
