Hi Leslie, I do side stepping on the flat with my dog as part of our agility warm ups. I do this by having him perpendicular to me and then using my body pressure and also food lure on this nose to side step. I’ve also done this on cavaletti. Can I do this for this exercise or is it important that you’re in front of the dog and they learn to side step that way?
Not important to only work from the front. The way you do it is also the way I do it with my dogs when I don’t have equipment to use as a lure.
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Neo’s attempt at side stepping. I do this frequently on the flat, especially as part of our warm up routine, so I decided to start with stepping onto/over objects.

I want to build more value for the platforms/ equipment.

Adjusted the side-steps per your recommendations, focusing on pausing on the target before stepping off.

I love it!

After the 1st 10 to 14 days post Karma’s spay (as long as she has had no issues), can we work on side stepping on the flat?
Yes, just go slow and if she doesn’t want to do it, stop.
Hi Leslie. We tried Side Steps and Push Ups. For the Side Steps, you mention 3 different ways to do it, but I’m not sure I understood the set up for the other two options that aren’t in your video. Please let me know if this is what you meant. https://youtu.be/o_FpPFMYby8
Hopefully I explain the side stepping a bit better but let me know if you have questions.

Thanks Leslie, that explanation makes perfect sense…and I totally agree with you about Reno’s progress. These exercises have been a great learning experience for him and I even see a bit more calmness translating to his other activities as well. Thank you!!!
That’s awesome to hear!
Side steps – we tried doing this on thin planks but he struggles so changed back to the wide ones we used when I first tried to teach him sidestepping. He is getting the hang of it but it is hard for him. His side paw targetting is great. https://youtu.be/xVj_nfUZlOY Sorry this is a bit long maybe just look at sections of the two ways I tried.
Almost there!

Thanks, Lelsie, for your very helpful advice. We are getting there slowly. I’ll also make a big effort to clean up my treat delivery – I seem to be dropping bits everywhere!
Keep working on it. It’s a hard one!
Side steps!

Nice start!

Leslie, should we be concerned about proper standing posture on this exercise? So when the dog moves to the target, for me it will be the sensimat at first & then probably the yoga pad, should I be looking at how he’s standing when he gets there or just that the side movement was done?
Yes, they should maintain a normal stand posture throughout the exercise. Many dogs tuck their rear legs under their body as they side step. Use the equipment to help maintain good posture.
