A dog in regular work is loading those same structures every session. Watch which side has less range of motion. And if you filmed yesterday, watch your exits. That's where things can fall apart. #GrowStrongDogs #GrowStrongCore

That bow your dog does? Not just a stretch. Front end down, rear end up; the epaxials are working isometrically, the triceps eccentrically, the glutes concentrically. One position, three types of muscle work.

#GrowStrongDogs Week 1. Two exercises: the stand and the bow with cookie stretches. We're starting with observation before we start building anything.

Post your dog. Tag #GrowStrongDogs

Film your dog standing from the side for 30 seconds.

Where do they load?
Any lean?
One hip lower?

That’s your baseline.
You’ll want it later.

#GrowStrongDogs starts tomorrow.
Week 1 is two exercises — and one of them is just watching your dog stand.

Sounds simple. It’s not.

Two days out from #GrowStrongDogs. Spent this morning setting up for Week 1 filming. Rook is deeply unimpressed. Monday. #dogsofbluesky #boxersofbluesky

Five dogs, two trainers. A retired Boxer, a young Boxer in protection sport, a PSA3 Malinois, a developing Malinois, and a Border Collie. Same work, very different dogs, very different goals. #blueskydogs #growstrongdogs #nolimitscanine #nowwatchmesit
