Looking good but I want you to try keeping nose more in line with the spine as well.

Tackling the flexibility exercises now. Started with the sit-bends. Not sure if I had the head position right. I did these with Yowza and Matrix, who you have met before, and with Lulu, who is my senior dog (13 years), as I’d like your advice on which exercises to do with an older dog.

Nice job!
Sorry forgot the link:

Sit bends again. I think he is improving. https://youtu.be/dFF3wm7PuYE
Nice job!

Thanks again, Leslie for your really helpful comments and analysis. I find them so helpful and encouraging. My plan is to keep cycling through the modules, except Module 4, for the next few weeks before we try any of the jumping strength exercises.
I think that’s a great plan!
We started the flexibility module this week. Here’s our first attempts at the Sit’bends. https://youtu.be/qEugo19EcPo
These are really nice by the end.

Thanks again for your great analysis and feedback, Leslie. I haven’t posted any videos this week as we are just working on building strength and flexibility, keeping your feedback in mind. We’ll probably start on the jumping strength exercises this week.
Sounds good!
Great, glad to hear we are on the right track. We are working on the play bow from down and the back bends too………not sure if we will get a chance to video this week as we have a trial coming up and a short week. Good though to work on flexibility I think during a pre-trial week and not so much on the strength to not wear the muscles out! Thanks for the feedback, you’re awesome!!!
I agree! Flexibility is my go to when I need to do something with the dog but don’t want to overdo it.
Good morning Leslie, here is our first video attempt at Sit Bends, not a bad first start……lmk what you think!

Awesome job!

Homework from Bounce and Strut. I am a bit confused on just how far to try and get the neck stretch. Should the nose be parallel to the floor or aiming down and to the shoulder? Thanks
https://youtu.be/HSSs2qAZvYE
Aim the nose to follow along the spine. Your goal is to get to about the shoulder. We will go farther along the spine in the standing position.

Thanks for the feedback.
You’re welcome!
Here’s Jake flexibility video. https://youtu.be/-tR0bfTFHI8
This is looking great! I’m super happy with the sit.
https://youtu.be/frC05cXqKcw
Here’s more sit bends. He’s getting into a better sit position more frequently on his own. https://youtu.be/gLR_ibjj7ug
Awesome job!
JakeSitBends91921: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=S74OpW0BhzCF5zvmq09h
TY! I think his sits are getting a little better! He still splays that leg out , especially when he’s excited, but not as much when concentrating.
You’re welcome!
Here’s Rio’s sit bends…sorry the camera not quite set up straight but I did ensure he was sitting nice and straight.
https://youtu.be/ivFr1t4uEdo
Awesome!
Let’s make it harder!

Sit bend with instability. Thanks!

This is hard for him. I love it!

Is it NOT ok to do these neck stretches while standing (I call them “cookie” stretches)…..OR is that a different exercise all together???
That is a different exercise all together. This focuses on balancing and engaging the core in a sit while still getting lateral spinal flexibility.
