Some of y'all have heard me talk (a LOT) about the 3 essential moves that can create amazing posture and strength: the Posture Sit, the Square Stand, and the Sphinx Down. Now, you may *think* your dog knows those moves...but how's their form? Well, now you can check out all sorts of tips, with some troubleshooting, then come back here and show us your moves! Click on "Classroom" and go play! First up? The Square Stand. (Cilla for 'cute dogtax')

One of the pieces we talked about in Fit Club tonight was one of my FAVE quickie workouts: - front feet on platform, - to tuck sit on platform , - Pop forward, - ROCKBACK sit on platform, - To kickback stand (front feet on platform) Sounds a LOT more complicated than it is. BUT it can be done on a single platform, like a Cato board. It also hits all the major muscle groups and is a wicked bit of cardio. I do teach it in 2 sections: ff on, to tuck sit, kickback, then the pop forward to rockback sit. This is what a more advanced tuck sit to kickback stand can look like, with a side of pivot because she loves to.

Twice in 2 days this has come up, so I thought I’d share with everyone: the drag racer from Genuine Dog Gear. In general, i LOVE their products - sturdy, real critter fur which satiates my dogs in ways that synthetic toys does not. I have several toys and the buffalo and sheep versions have been the most durable for us. https://genuinedoggear.com/product-category/training-toys/animal-hide-toys/

I thought I’d post a quick clip showing Kenna’s ridiculous back leg reach when we work on backing up to a platform. What I GOT was a quick video of D R A M A with a tiny bit of backup practice. This full moon is a *lot*! 😑
