Benefit
- Improves spinal and muscle mobility
Instructions:
-
With your dog standing, sit behind it with one hand supporting its belly
-
Place a treat in front of your dog's nose, then guide them by bringing the treat towards the tail, encouraging a side- ways stretch of the spine
-
Go back to starting position, treat and repeat
Special Note:
- If your dog's joints and muscles are tight and don't allow them to reach all the way to their tail then start my aiming for their shoulder, slowly increasing the stretch over days or weeks until they can reach closer to their tail.
- Don't push them to stretch beyond their comfort zone.
