Hi Leslie – we are no longer able to train outside, so I thought we could catch up on some of the conditioning exercises. Here is Matrix (white dog) and Yowza (black dog) doing the Rock-back sits. I thought they did quite well, but would appreciate your opinion – thanks
PS – Matrix is 6 years, and Yowza is 23 months.

This is looking really good!

Hi Leslie – thanks so much for the great feedback! Please see my video under the “Posture” exercise, which we reviewed so that the dogs could get more practice standing in a good posture position, and so that you can make sure that they are in a good position. We repeated the rock-back sit exercise – this time I turned the foot target lengthwise. I forgot to take a step backward in the beginning, but then I remembered, and I think it helped a lot. You will see that I got a lot of leg movement with Yowza, but I think she had a better stand. Matrix overall was much better, I thought, but still some back leg movement.

Getting better!

I videoed Jamie’s sit/stands at this stage so that I can get your feedback before we go further with them in a week or so when we’ve spent more time on targeting. https://youtu.be/hjAweuzwWJU I think he was getting a bit tired, though still enthusiastic. I noticed in the video he doesn’t seem to be sitting right down – I missed this while doing the exercise. I probably need to slow him down a bit so he sits fully. Is this block a bit small for him? Or too high?
I feel like he might still have some restrictions in tarsal flexion that might be uncomfortable when holding a sit position.

Thanks again, Leslie. This analysis and advice is very timely as we are seeing the physio this morning, so I’ll discuss this with her. We’ll work on your plan of static sits for a week (longer if the stiffness needs it) before trying the sit/stands twice a week. I
Perfect!
