And the value of video in training - I was not aware that her butt wasn’t on the board!

Zia enjoys crawling, which works all of the core muscles and focuses on the ilipsoas (a muscle that is often injured in sport dogs).

Zia arrived today, and she is 8 weeks old. It is never too early to start a fitness routine. Stay tuned for puppy fitness posts❣️

Dashiell loves his daily workouts - look at that tail wag!

This exercise works core muscles, with an emphasis on hindlimbs.

It is easier on the handler when the dog offers paw lifts, instead of having to lift the paws manually to achieve weight shifts.

Pay attention to the top line - it should be neutral, like Dashiell’s - with no strain on the spine.
