Developmental exercises for a dog on a tire

We all want to have a pet, developed including physically. And for this it is not necessary to take him to fitness centers. You can use improvised materials. For example, an old car tire will come to the rescue.

What can be developmental exercises for a dog on a tire

1. Climb inside the tire and get out of it, on the other side.
2. Sit inside the tire.
3. Sit down with front paws on the splint.
4. Describe a circle clockwise and counterclockwise with the front feet on the tire and the hind feet on the ground on the outside.

These exercises develop the balance of the dog, it begins to feel better in the hind legs, learns to trust the owner and listen to him, and responds to non-standard commands. This increases the dog’s self-confidence and strengthens contact with the owner.

Do not forget that the dog is induced to perform the exercise with a treat. And, of course, encouraged for every exercise. The treat should be valuable enough to motivate the dog to engage in such a useless activity from its point of view.

Of course, it is necessary to take into account the size of the dog, as well as ensure that the exercises are safe.

Rules to be observed when performing dog exercises on a splint

1. Do not hurry! Exercises are performed slowly, because no one is chasing you. It is important to be sure that the dog does not hurt anything.
2. The main thing is not quantity, but quality. It is better to do less exercises, but correctly, than more, but somehow.
3. Watch for signs of fatigue and stop the activity as soon as you see them. Fatigue can be signaled by the fact that the dog half-squats, turns the elbows outward or tucks inward, and similar signs. If the dog gets very tired and loses motivation, then it will be much more difficult for you to convince him to start exercising again.

It is great if you have the opportunity, before exercising with your dog, to consult with a physiotherapist and listen to his recommendations.

And, of course, it is necessary that all such exercises bring pleasure to the dog.
