Just a little more reason to train to stack - or if you like call it stand
Often times you see dogs with their natural position of their feet very turned out, or worse still is one turned out and the other turned in. So just like humans over time we develop bad postural habits. WE have weak muscles here, and over used muscles there. Over time the un-equal pull and or support for our joints creates problems with our joints.
Doing this exercise daily with your dog, will help the dog to strengthen and find a new and healthier stance for themselves.
Another great exercise to do, is on your walks if there is a narrow bench - like maybe at the baseball field, or some parks use railings around plantings. Take your dog up on these and walk close beside them. The dog will automatically need to place their feet deliberately. You know in agility they have the teeter totter, and that ramp thingie; can't remember the name of the equipment right now
too early not enough java!
Also a good one is Cavaletti training. You can get pvc piping and cut down to appropriate size. I did a posting somewhere on here about that.
You can train the trot with this. Also there is a exercise where we scatter the piping at different distances and angles. The dog needs to think his gait through the piping.
