So glad I found this video. My bassets inside hips are so tight as she’s going onto 10 this December but she’s a super active dog. We started agility last week for the first time. With vet clearance of course! I’m hoping this will help her loosen up and keep her moving and tearing up that field some more!! She loves it already wish I started it years ago. She loves obedience classes
Thank you for this helpful video. I will be using these techniques to try to keep our 13 y/o golden/shepherd mix mobile. Incidentally, your dog's penmanship is much better than mine.
Excellent video! I have a Mountain Cur name Maddie who loves to run while I mountain bike, sometimes she's ahead of me sometimes she's behind me depending and what she smelling or peeing on LOL we probably go out about 4 days a week and she probably goes about 10 miles each time she's an incredible shape and I stretcher regularly. very important for dogs
It was helpful but my dog isn't cooperative enough or let's say he is too lazy to do qny exercise😂😂 But I loved the way flier was lying while stretching😊
I have to do the stretches with our German shepherd Valentine standing because as soon as you get on the floor she gets up and starts giving you kisses! 😂 😂 😂 I do support under her belly when I do her back legs and get her to sit when I do some of the front leg stretches. That way she gets a break and I don't do the same leg three or four times in a row, I go round each leg, again to give her a chance to rest. She is 11 after all, I do what she's comfortable doing and what the vet showed me. It would be nice for her if she'd let me do it while she's lying down but she likes to share the love, we named her well lol xx
Do you only do this after a certain age and do you change the stretches for different dogs? I have a teacup chihuahua and she is a puppy and I was curious when I should start? My other dog is old and has arthritis and is very sensitive to stuff like this how should I go about helping her? Sorry for all the questions 😅
how do you stretch your dogs back? my german shepherd has hip dysplasia and I was told he hunches his back in to take the pressure off his hind legs. The vet said I should do back stretches on him to take some of the pressure off his back. How should I stretch his back out?
ive been doing these stretchss for my dog for some time, but then recently whenever i try to do the hind legs, he won't let me stretch them towards his rear--he tends to flinch and tense up when i try to stretch the hind legs back... i was wondering what might be wrong with his back legs
I have a dog that needs to be inactive for 4 months to heal from a wound in the leg/front paw. Do you recommend these exercises to keep the other 3 legs from atrophy?
1. My poor back. Relaxing my dog while fucking up my lower back: Check 2. Smelling dog’s toe cheese (long leg/german ahepherd): Check 3. In the next life I want to be my dog
