Marco – almost 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25adZhZKwHQ
This is looking really good. I want you to try pushing into his head when he’s in the play bow position. Then I want you to try getting rid of the front Cato. Whichever gives you more symmetrical of a bow we will stick with.
Seven. 5.5 years. She strongly resists this movement. She has always resisted doing a down as well, in case that is related!! I thought she was maybe doing some of the movement toward the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTGHDq17KSI
It does get closer and closer. I’m curious to see her downs. My instinct says to push into her body more. Watch how you’re luring her. You are doing more of a straight down lure. Think about drawing a line from her nose to her sternum.
PJ – a little over a year. This was our second attempt. The first was a failure. He actually did the movement this time, though toward the end he starts resisting again. Not sure why I was using a down cue!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Lx1qtKALA
He does the movement well. I want you to try without the front Cato to see if that helps. Also, think about luring the nose into the sternum.
Hi Leslie – here are Matrix and Yowza attempting the Play Bow Push-ups. Matrix knows “bow” on cue, but has not done it back to the stand before. Yowza does not know the bow on cue yet.

This is a good start.

Here’s Jake’s attempts. https://youtu.be/nQZpNRBCuJM
We are going to split the difference. Try the fit bone against the wall to add a bit of stability.

How’s this look? https://youtu.be/EVuaEcciP2w
I like it. Let’s try to start with a bit more spinal extension. JakePlaybowPushup12321: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=XcM6ODP6XOVadPWn4K5B
Here’s our playbow with RF on the fitbone. I do have a full sized fitbone but I think the small one is probably better for Jamie at the moment. https://youtu.be/YuZfcI-OkuI This is the first time we’ve tried it in this set up. We have only done it on a platform or the floor in the past.
Nice job!

Thanks again for the great feedback, Leslie. It is just so helpful. I have noticed occasionally that Jamie’s right knee will rotate out if the exercise is a bit too hard or if I push him too much. He is such a great little dog and he loves doing these exercises so it is very easy to overdo it with him. I found it difficult to work out how to get Jamie to do the straight elbow bow so I just went with what he offered.
That’s perfect. I love how observant you are. I agree that the rotation is a sign of fatigue.
Hi Leslie – here is our first attempt at the Play Bow Pushups. We are trying our new paw discs and hope we got the right amount of air! (I warmed her up and got her used to the new equipment with doing Bridge work, which you will see in another video).
Let us know what you think……..looks like lots of tricep and core work going on in addition to the hamstrings!

Looking good!
