Use a Cavaletti bar or a panel in front of your dog to get the correct weight shift. A panel could be a box, board or other flat item that is chest height or below.

PROGRESSION OF WEIGHT SHIFTING
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
With dog in neutral stance position on a Cato Plank with the tilt accessory, inspire weight shifting by spacial pressure or (in this video) "It's Yer Choice" was used. The dog will engage core muscles and stabilizing muscles to shift weight front to back. The feet should remain still. Weight Shifting improves balance and the dog's weight distribution in both front and rear.

Bonus leaning to chin rest on my cooperative care adjustable stand. This can help with vet visits, mail trims, grooming, etc. #cooperativecaretraining #caninewellness #aussieswithtails #miniaussieswithtails

💫Do you have a dog that is tight in the lower back and hips?
💫Do you have a dog that needs to build strength in the rear assembly?
Take a look at this exercise that can stretch through the spine and the hips while engaging the lower back. The dog in the video is learning the exercise so pay close attention to the description portion to know what to look for!

Working on husbandry with my new chin/bridge hold stand. Just got this done so transferring previously trained behavior to new object! #caninehusbandry #positivedog #clickertrainingfordogs #bordercollies #vettech #vetcare
Puppy obstacle course!! The second time through she jumped off but that is ok. We want puppies to offer behavior and not be lured over different surfaces!
PLANK TO BACK UP TO DOWN
⭐️full body exercise
⭐️improve balance and proprioception
⭐️a variety of equipment can be used
🧰 I used a “back up and down” cue to get the shift back to down and front foot movement back to the red peanut. This may or may not work for your dog. Many dogs may back up off the equipment instead. You may have to play around with what cues will work. While you are figuring it out try the exercise on the flat or on equipment that is low to the ground.

Here I am teaching Fluri to hold a stand while I move. The cavaletti bar is to prevent sitting!
Using an elevated object helps to shift weight to the rear while the 2x4’s keep rear feet in alignment with the hips.
🐢 SLOW and CONTROLLED movement, without rear foot movement is 🔑!! Treat/hand position should be at natural nose height. If your pup is over-stimulated by the food, "It's Yer Choice" is a great impulse control game that could be implemented! 🤩😎
💥The 2x4’s add an element of rear limb awareness that improves the over all muscle engagement of this exercise.💥
Beginner reps: 3-5 reps
Intermediate reps: 5-8 reps
Advanced reps: 6-10 reps
Quality over quantity should be the focus. 👍 Out of position exercises are not efficient and could lend to injury. When your dog shows signs of fatigue (out of position, foot movement, avoidance, etc) it is time to stop whether that is rep 3 or rep 9.
Feel free to drop a video below of you working your pup!! 🙌🏻
Happy Training!! 🌟
