The goal is to first of all we're Working on their fear because all dogs We teach them that they're okay we don't Teach them they're okay they have no way Of knowing so this is one of the ways we Show them that they're okay by putting Them in a very vulnerable position this Exposes everything about them that can Be harmed their neck their chest their Everything about them their stomach Digestion and their general so Rafi has His tail wrapped up around the back Seeing that can you see his tails Wrapped up That's fear total fear no fear so as she Relaxes you'll start seeing her tail Drop as Fang now fangs better thanks Tails drops Bailey's tails drop yeah and It's tough for Shepherd sometimes once They've been shipped and trained to Relax because they think they're always On duty so one of the best things that You can do for a dog is to actually take Them off duty this is one of the ways You show them their off duty because You're protecting them and they're in a Vulnerable position so I will addition To this I'll do some stretches for their Shoulders and their hips to help open up Their shoulders and their hips because They're on them all day so they never Get a chance to stretch and actually a Release and The fluid moving lubricate their joints
Properly through not having pressure so I start by taking their arms and I grab I'm gonna just get back so we can see I Start by taking their show there are at Their elbows and I squeeze their elbows So their arms are straight so squeeze Their will elbows there I'm constraint If you rush out like underneath kind of Like it for stretching out in this Direction Good job Rocky good boy good boy you Have so that helps open up their Shoulders and then and then after we do That for about 15 seconds I'm gonna lean His shoulders to his legs forward so Press them forward so he had a chance to Open up in here see okay yeah So take your time and get a position and You can lay him on his side you're Easily don't be afraid you have nothing To fear nothing to fear So you can lay them on this side and you Can actually have them facing either Direction I just would like for them to Be facing away from you just like that Perfect I think they're kind of their hips joint They're her leg and then I just give a Little tiny press and you'll feel and Start to relax yeah just like that and Then that one just like just like that No right there and now you want to kind Of lean in and just press on and you'll Feel his muscles kind of start to let go
Feel that that cool because they're Tense all day it's like us holding our Shoulders tight all day long and then When someone comes up and rubs your Shoulders and releases that tension your Sense of home and that's what this feels Like for them to me total calming Some of the reasons we like to stretch Them or we should stretch them it Certainly helps First of all lubricate their joints to Keep their joints healthy but it helps Prevent arthritis it helps prevent Tendinitis which they're on their feet All the time they're instantly on the Move so we want to keep the joints Healthy and keep fluid moving through There like a pump and a filter and if we Don't pump the fluid through the filter Then things accumulate and that's when Problems occur so we do everything we Can to keep them healthy and happy keep Their joints healthy healthy and happy So we don't spend all of our time with Them chewing up our wallet I do it the Morning like this so I'm stretching Myself so I get my own stretch in while I'm stretching the dogs First time on a dog chaser We're teaching him that upon the leash This is all about the dog following the People the people's direction speed and Lead Your dog has been such a great
