Canine conditioning challenge

Hi all, it's still Sunday here in the UK , but I think some of you are waking up already to Monday and I want you to be able to start the challenge as soon as you want to dive in....

I'm a certified canine conditioning coach here in the UK, I've qualified from The Canine Conditioning Academy which is a level 4 diploma.

We are looking at one of the exercises from my foundation course which is our side steps. It's a great exercise and all you need is some treats and a dog. It works the adductors and abductor in both the hind and fire legs, the glutes, the side abdominals and the iliopsoas, so for such a simple exercise it is quite the work out.

If this is new to your dog, reward anything that looks like a sideways movement and build on that. We don't want to push our dogs, but moving towards them into their space can encourage the sideways movement we are after.

If you can side steps already, you can take it out and about with you, uneven surfaces, going up and down a slope.

I have other options if you find this easy ☺️

Show me what you can do and I'll give you feedback.
