here is the play bow she learned as a trick – is the form ok?

Yes, elbows are bent so this will focus on tricep strengthening.
Here’s our down to bow: https://youtu.be/8lerAaPQO-Q
Nice job! Definitely stretching those Hamstrings. JamieDowntoPlaybow101921: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=XI3pfSLypLHW4PNXt92Q
I’m way behind in some of the exercises but finding time this weekend! This one went reasonably well. She seemed to catch on pretty fast. How often should we be doing this? Many thanks!

So funny, I watched this after I uploaded it and I can hear my 11 year old son goofing around on the piano in the background. I didn’t even realize he was playing at the time. Ha ha ha
This is looking great! Try to get it on a verbal cue. Then do 3 sets of 3 reps every other day.

Here’s Jake’s attempt. I taught a bow from a stand so our attempts aren’t great from the down. https://youtu.be/DR-Bl9OnFaQ
This is looking really good!

TY! We are still working this & he’s gotten much better at getting into position from a down. I’ve incorporated all of these exercises into our trial warmup to get him all loose & ready to run.
Perfect! It makes me so happy to hear that!
Hi Leslie, we are catching up on posting video. Here is our work on back bends and down to bow. https://youtu.be/UIcNBDd_Ul8
Great job with all 3 dogs!

Bows. Not sure if he’s shouting move his back feet forward? I’ve trained a bow from a stand but not from a down.
https://youtu.be/7uRx93aSm2s
I think a little step forward is okay, but not the big steps. https://youtu.be/Kmg9YblbxcA
Thanks! We are getting it!

Excited to try this with my girls as we’ve not seen this one before 🙂
I’m playing catch up with fitness after a busy August and trying to get back into a fitness routine…how often would you work these type of exercises vs the basic exercises and their progressions (ie sit-stands) each week? What are your thoughts on a rest day where they don’t train?
My GSPs get to run in the pasture 5-6 days per week at their pace for 20-30 minutes and we work do 3-4 agility sessions per week as well as ~1 competition weekend per month.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, I’m a training junkie and my girls like to work but I don’t want to over do it either! Thanks!
When training new fitness exercises, I work on them 3-5 days a week usually. When the exercise is trained and part of a workout I may do it 3-5 days a week or as little as once a month. It really depends on the exercise. There are a lot that I tend to do routinely – posture bridge, good mornings, etc. There are a lot that are regularly in my warm ups: any of the exercises on the flat. And there are a lot that become pieces of other exercises: all the targeting. I like to do workouts and I don’t like to repeat a workout too often. So, while exercises may repeat, workouts may repeat monthly or if I didn’t like the workout, never. In the mix of competition season, my dogs get a workout usually 1-3 times a week. Early competition or late off season, if might be up to 5 days a week they get a workout. I do a lot of cardio (walks, hikes, sprints) that I don’t really include in those workout sessions.
That makes sense, thank you! I struggle to keep doing workouts with my girls as they’re pretty activity on a day to day basis and during our competition season I’m never sure how much (or how little) to do. I’ll keep working on the new exercises to become proficient and try to do a few workouts per week as our schedules allow.
We will discuss workouts and scheduling as you get more and more exercises.
I’d look forward to this myself as I am having trouble setting a schedule as to what workouts when and how often.
I’m planning this topic to be the next Live Discussion since I’m not sure how to fit it into the monthly exercises.
Hi Leslie,
Ashe does a down to play bow on the floor already, but do you actually want to do it with the head lowered below the platform, or is that just being to help the dog get their rear up?
That is just how I get the behavior started. I do eventually fade it so the behavior can occur on the flat or other fitness equipment.
2nd day learning something new! https://youtu.be/DqW848CYg7o
Awesome job!
