Another failed attempted😂
One of these days I WILL get a good dry needling promo video, just like one of these days I will remember to unplug my airvest before dismounting my horse, however today is not either of those days😂🤦♀️.
Training tip Thursday!!
Tugging is fantastic exercise to engage in with your dog that if done properly can facilitate core strenghtening and stability. However, if done incorrectly it can do more harm than good and lead to significant neck and shoulder issues down the road. When tugging, the dogs head should always be in line with the rest of the topline or slightly below, and all 4 feet should be on the ground at all times. Notice how Inspire lets go when I put her neck into hyperextension. Tugging with a dog with their neck up at where your arms fall (depending on the dog) creates neck hyperextension, increased stress on shoulder and neck muscles and increased pressure on the lower lumbar SI joint instead of muscle to counterbalance. Inspire is the first puppy I’ve trained from day 1 to be rewarded for proper tug positioning only, and now 2 years later, she has the body awareness to feel the difference and let go without a command. This is why I love long tugs so much because not only do they decrease the incidence of incorrect tugging, they also save the owners lower back!!
