Im stuck over here in the UK with no chance of ever attending a class myself, so I was wondering if people who have attended a class could tell me of some of the exercises that you did. I want to start improving my umbilical work with my dog and thought it would be great for both of us to keep in even more shape I've tried some push ups and star jumps, going up/down stairs etc. What else could I be doing?

It is loads of fun, and the pain afterwards tells me how badly I needed a workout! Use whaterer you have around in your neighborhood. We do lots and lots of squats,and lunges and quite often hover in a squat while pup is doing his best to pull you over. Lots of leap frogs across the park, forwards and back. Jogging forwards and back. Stairs - one, two, three at a time. Push ups and tricep dips off a wall or bench with hands at varying widths - lots of abs, core strengthening, and stretching. Anything that hurts really. Ah yes, my personal favorite, running up the hill gackwards. Have fun, and use your imagination, and if you can find someone to yell at you while you do it for an hour, that helps too!

We also did some street safety and when i walk Ella I will cross the road about a 50 times back and forth using the method that includes (after looking for cars) a quick sprint onto the road and walk and quick sprint off of the road. Then we just do it back and forth up and down the block. Getting two things accomplished with that one. Do you use kids' playground equipment? Have you tried putting up posters and see if you can get a group together there who would have the same philosophy on training? It is definitely way more fun when there are others! Good for you for doing it!!!!   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

My dog is always wanting to play with the others, so hovering in a squat with a 95 pound dog pulling at the waist is a real challege for the old core stabilizing muscles! Around here, kids playgrounds are off limits for dogs, and rightly so, so Brad steers clear, but we make use of benches, railings, retaining walls, stairs.... I was all ready to attend the class on thursday, and then it snowed!! Cancelled.   Report to moderator   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/09 09:50 By lmbusi.   | The administrator has disabled public write access.
