This week's trick is leg weaves! Huge variety for you with this one.
Forward leg weaves
Dog weaves through the handler's legs while the handler is walking forward.
Figure 8
Dog weaves a figure eight through stationary handler's legs.
Backward leg weaves
Dog backs through handler's legs while handler is moving backwards.
Backwards Figure 8
Dog backs a figure eight through stationary handler's legs.
You can add scoots before or after these, you can run, you can skip. Make those leg weaves fun!
Benefits? Great way to stretch your dog's back before performance sports, or to just warm up their entire body. Great for body awareness too, especially the backwards weaves.
Ready... set... go!
