no not really - unfortunately. Exercise is very important- it builds up the muscles around the knee and can help hold it in place. It is also important to keep her at a good weight- so to not put extra strain on her knee. otherwise- just keep doing what you are doing- many dogs go their whole life in stage 2 - Layla will just randomly pick up her leg and i know it has slipped but it is always only for a few second.
