As January comes to an end......

January 26, 2015-

As the last Monday of the month rolls around, the snow comes in way of a blizzard. We are expecting anywhere from 1 to 2 feet of snow.....Pam went to pickup enough food for all of us yesterday for the next few day, expecting to be snow bound for a day or two. I think the workout for the next 1-2 days will be shoveling snow for Pam while we all get to make tracks in the backyard and roll around in the snow!......

Pam said she will dig out an area for me to lie on the grass with a nice cool layer of snow, so that I will not sink through a foot or more!..........I am thinking an igloo of sorts......we shall see, I think during shoveling snow- I will call out to her for water breaks and stretching breaks to make sure Pam works out with us and we can be sure she is ok for continuing on! We care for one another in this pack!

There are no pictures today, as we stayed indoors and took care of some school work and just chilled out!.....Scout and Pam went for a short run this morning, the snow was coming down with the wind blowing it in Pam's eyes, which was unpleasant but nevertheless Pam still loves the snow. It was a cold run but all bundled up it was comfortable for Pam!

I hope to have an awesome blog for you tomorrow with photos of an igloo, or at least a dugout for us to enjoy the snow and the cold grassy yard!.....Oh my, NOW it feels like WINTER has come about!

Until tomorrow,
Skyler

Give me Five!

January 25, 2015-

Hey even though running is an very important part of training for a marathon there are other parts to training that need to be included as well. Some of these exercises will be demonstrated by myself and Scout in our blogs before and during training when it begins.

Today, I will go over Give me 5 or Giving a Paw, which is easy to do....it's cute and impressive when others see you doing this with your human companion. And it is a great exercise for your front legs and elbows. You should do this on each side at least 2 to 3 times!

Here is our video of the day:

 

Speaking of training......in one week we start our training to complete our full challenge:

here is the link for my fundraiser:

 

https://www.crowdrise.com/PlankFundraiser/fundraiser/pamelaschmidlin

 

the charity is the Huntington Animal Shelter.....I will be calling them this week to put their info in to the form so they can get their check as soon as possible from Crowdrise!

 

Each day will include more and more planks....the goal is to end up doing 28 mins of planks straight....YIKES!.....Can I even imagine doing 7 minutes straight?!?!?!.....I will be helping Pam do each day and motivating her to hold the plank the correct way and all......So, are ya ready to help us help my fellow doggy pals at Huntington Animal Shelter find their furever homes and spend their time at the shelter that much more comfortably in the meantime!

 

We will ask the shelter to display a board about our time together since coming together at the shelter and our challenge this week as well.....so are you going to join us for this challenge?  will you help the fellow doggy friends?.......

 

Okay more coming tomorrow,

Skyler

the Lunge......

January 24, 2015-

Hello everyone Skyler here....today I helped Pam with her pose today, because of a snow/ rain storm last night (and it still raining throughout the day) she decided to keep the workouts indoors. So, we decided to show you one of our daily Doga poses....and in fact two ways of doing the pose as well!.....

Watch the video and then I'll tell you more about the LUNGE:

 

Some of the benefits of  the LUNGE pose are as follows:

 

it will definitely strengthen the quadriceps and gluteus muscles, while stretching the psoas and hips, it will develop stamina and endurance in your thighs, and improve your balance, concentration, and core awareness. Oh, it is great for reducing sciatica pain (if only I knew this when Pam had her sciatica pain!)

 

To challenge her balance, in the month of February, I think I am going to have her close her eyes when she goes into this LUNGE pose! What do you think? Is a challenge set?

 

Alright that's all I have for now,

Check back tomorrow for more training poses/ moves,

Skyler

Extended Puppy Pose

January 23, 2015-

Over the years, I have done my share of running and working out with Pam and do not get me wrong I enjoyed every step and movement we did together BUT as time goes by, and I get older and the fact that I do in fact have degenerative myopathy, I can only do so much now. This I know breaks Pam's heart and it kills me not to be out there running and doing more- it messes with our heads and hearts more than anything. But we do what we can! Pam really does try to accommodate me and make things work out for the best for me and her!  And I love her for it! (I love the treats as well that she gives me just for being me- over the years I earned them and she knows it, whereas Scout still needs to perform for a lot of treats, he'll get to my position as the years go by but for now!......

Anyway, today we are showing you the Extended Puppy Pose....I did a resting Extended Puppy Pose for Senior and Handicap Dogs- while Scout with the help of Pam demonstrated the younger dog pose. And then Pam demonstrated the human pose with my help of course (gotta love those treats!)......Check out today's video:

 

So anyway, that is the Extended PUPPY Pose....I still got my Puppyness!....No?!?!?!.....Pam thinks I do!.....

Until tomorrow have a great day and get your leash on with your dog,

Skyler

 

Check out our new book.....I co authored it with my pack!

Skyler's Training Blog- the Plank

January 22, 2015-

Okay, today we did the Dolphin Plank.....and also show the "regular" plank as well......we also announced in February a challenge set for ourselves.  I will be making sure Pam does this everyday and correctly.

The challenge will follow the video of the day: We had to cut it short because Scout decided to stand directly in front of the camera and he would have been mooning everyone on YouTube, so we are sparing you!

 

Ok, this was a quick video take, sorry about the extreme burst of light in the background but the dogs wanted the door OPEN to watch everything going on!

 

Ok, here is the Challenge.....starting February 1, 2015- Pam will start doing a 1 min plank (she can start with the Dolphin Plank but will hopefully end up doing the "regular" plank. Each day Pam will add a minute to her plank.....and by February 28, 2015- Pam will accomplish a 28 minute plank! Wait, what is the longest time a plank has been held?.....

 

The world record for holding a plank is 4 hours......hhmmm.....shall we work her up to a 4.5 hour plank?!!?!?!??!.....Let's just get her through the first challenge.......

 

Oh, and to top it all off.....There will be a fundraiser accompanied with this challenge.....Pam will be making a fundraising page and posting it here, of course this challenge will have a lot to do with Scout and Pam's marathon.....heck a strong core helps with a strong run!

 

So check back tomorrow for that info.....anyway, I think Pam can accomplish a 28 minute PLANK do you?!?!??! With my coaching and me right by her side.....it would be really cool if people would donate a dollar a minute......Pam is determined to do this, hey if she got through Army Boot Camp, she can work her way up to and do this- YIKES!

 

Oh the sale of our book proceeds will be split between Huntington Animal Shelter and Kent Animal shelter.....a percentage going to each shelter.....and you can read up on how to get active and healthy with your dog the safest way possible!

 

See you tomorrow.....

Skyler's Training Blog- The Gate Pose

January 21, 2015-

Today, I will be assisting Pam with the Gate Pose......AKA Parighasana. I mention this because parigha= an iron bar or beam used to lock or shut a gate.

So the fact, we did this outside today, in the cold has it's reasons. I mean Pam does keep us safe from running off the property with a fence and a few gates that she keeps shut and locked! So I thought this all fit together. What do you think?

Oh, when you watch the video, I was not harmed in anyway when Pam extended her leg, she just has long legs and it caught me by surprise BUT we do both like being close to one another when we workout!

Watch today's video here:

 

Simple stuff, it was nice to get outside and so some poses......I think I am going to get Pam to do more poses outside- EVEN if it is COLD out, she can just bundle up! Hehehehehehhehehe......

 

Check back tomorrow.....it's gonna have to be a special pose, as it's Pam's mothers birthday!.....

Skyler's Training Blog- Sphinx, Cobra, and Upward Dog poses.....

January 20, 2015-

Three somewhat similar yoga poses with their respective doga poses are the Sphinx, the Cobra, and the Upward Dog poses. So I thought I'd bring them to our attention today so that we can see they are in fact different.

The Sphinx pose is basically lying on the ground and holding your upper body up straight with your arms bend. Think of the Sphinx you may have seen in Egypt (or movies thereof). This is basically the same pose for your dog and you! Dogs are great at this pose just by lying and paying attention, we sit upright meanwhile automatically going into the Sphinx pose! I think I look like the GREAT Sphinx of the World- what do you think? (You can judge from the photo above or the video below!)

The Cobra Pose is taking the Sphinx pose a little deeper and lifting your upper body off the mat or ground. Meanwhile straightening your arms and looking up. I demonstrated this with Pam today, basically it's our Sphinx pose but we add a little stretch for the neck and chest into the mix, our human companions can help us by holding a treat above our heads to entice this movement!

The Upward Dog is taking these poses even further. While you will have your arms bent you will be lifting you legs off the mat as well, again looking up. Scout demonstrated this pose today! (Did you ever see a dog go into play mode? Well, our pose is kinda like the dogs pose to go out and play with other dogs or their companion thereof!)

Watch our video to see the different poses:

Ok, after we did these poses Pam, Sandy, Candycane, Scout and myself finished our Doga session.

I can't wait for tomorrow,

See ya then,

Skyler

Skyler's Training Blog- Half Lord of the Fishes Pose

January 18, 2015-

Training resumed today.....and we did a new pose for you to do with your dog!.....Your dog will be making sure you get the proper stretch for this.....the proper twist motion if you will...

A good thing to do, which Pam did was to twist and treat the dog! Once you twist your body and are looking where you need to, have that treat ready and TREAT the dog!

Try it, I know your dog will love it, I did! And so did Scout!

This pose was a similar pose that Pam did in the Army although I think it was called something else and the leg on the floor was held straight out. So she says......

This is a great stretch for runners, try it and have your dog with you to guide you in the twist!

See you tomorrow,
Skyler

Skyler's Training Blog- Coaching the rest of the team!

January 17, 2015-

 Okay Pam, Scout, and I have finalized their race schedule for this year.....(with a few possible races- they we going to play by ear on!) Oh our training will resume tomorrow after several days off from a slide/ fall that Pam took as she was in tow of ME!

First, their marathon training starts on February 2.....their first run/ race maybe the Run for the Hill of it 10k on March 29th.......this run/ race will be more of a run than a race, if they indeed do it!  Their training will tell us if we do indeed go ahead and run it!

 Their first official run/ race will be the St James 5 mile run on April 18th, and I must admit that these hills are just as difficult as well as ALOT more scenic and quiet.....and LONGER distances can be run on these hills, as well as SAFER! Oh did I mention you have the beach right there for the summer weather runs!

Then on May 24th, they will be running their very own marathon (hopefully raising money for Kent Animal Shelter!)......In fact, they will be running from Smithtown to Kent Shelter in Calverton. Which is 26.2 miles! You can donate to a great cause and help out those animals that only want to share their unconditional love with you, here:

To donate to my marathon fundrasier, all money goes directly to Kent Animal Shelter:

https://www.crowdrise.com/doggonerescuemarathon/fundraiser/pamelaschmidlin

 

You can follow our training for this event on this blog as well as Scout's blog:

 

http://scoutstrainingblog.blogspot.com/

 

 

After that race, they have a few weeks of training to go..... before our next event which is....drum roll please, (oh, this event is also my event- and in fact, they will be counting on me to be their coach in  training for this event especially.......

 

 

on July 19- the NYC AMC DOGGY DASH......

http://www.nyctri.com/new-york/additionalevents/doggydash/

I know this course and all it has to offer very well as I ran it in 2009 and 2010....so I will be sharing my expertise with Scout to prepare him for what's to come!

 

This race is a little pricey for a 5 mile race BUT  we run alongside the triathletes and halfway through the race the AMC provides vets and vet techs to check the dogs temps, provide ice baths for the dogs, and check their paws, etc....and basically cater to the dogs. Wait, what about Pam.....doesn't she get any attention?....Ok, Scout will provide that attention to her- as I  just told me as I was typing this blog that that's what I did and Pam was happy with that!

 

The race after that is the Running of the Bull 5k on September 26th, ......Pam may be training for another marathon in November at this time so they may end up doing more long runs at this time like last year!

 

Oh, the marathon would be the Myles Standish Marathon in Plymouth, MA! (The marathon that Pam missed last year!)

 

Pam will be hitting up a race that Scout will not be able to run at all- in November, which is the Northport 4k XC race... but she assures me training will be take place the next day!

 

As you can see there are not a lot of races scheduled for this year but of the races mentioned we want to do our best  at each and every one and get the full benefit of each one.....as the coach I need to get my athletes in top shape to take on these events......

 

 

After that race, they have a few weeks of training to go..... before our next event which is....drum roll please, (oh, this event is also Skyler's event- and in fact, we will be counting on Skyler to be our coach in our training for this event especially.......

WOW! I have my training plan ready for them and me to hit the ground running! Core workouts and more!

 

Happy training to one and all,

Keeping you updated on all training,

Coach Skyler

 

Skyler's Blog- Black and Blues......

January 16, 2015-

Skyler and Pam are taking it easy today....what about you?

I gotta say black and blues stink.....I may not have any black and blues but the one Pam has this week is getting in the way of our training! Today, we didn't even do a pose for you today......having things turned around due to injury (even if just a black and blue and boo boo.....) really turns life around. Don't get me wrong Pam has been able to get things done BUT not having run or workout in last few days because of her black and blue mark hurting too much is getting to her, ME, Sandy, Candycane, and Scout. I mean we have to listen to Scout.......

 

And as much as Pam wants to head out and come back and continue our workout, she knows that her thigh will be hurting and time heels all wounds!

 

How cliché, right? But oh so true......

 

We are allowed one day off from blogging with a new pose.....I promise I will get Pam to do a new pose tomorrow....

 

We are planning some new things for February......some of these things will be disclosed soon I promise.

 

One thing we are planning on doing is to put together a Doga Video of different poses and moves.....We were already asked to do this by someone. Scout and Pam will also be putting together a Pupilates video as well in February, thankfully we have a lot of our poses already.....but we will be putting our poses together into a proper workout! Ya ready?....I know I am.....today Pam and I were putting our heads together to come up with a great workout for you!

 

We will be making our video available to our clients, by mid February we hope. Keep tuned in here on this blog to see when it is released!

 

Have a great night,

Skyler

 

Skyler's Blog- Shavasana

January 15, 2015-

Pam and I shared our practice today with Sandy and Scout......Still recovering a little from her slide down the hills this week, Pam decided to take things down a notch again!

Today's pose is a Silent Relaxation also known as Shavasana.

Check the video out: We all do the pose together!

Skyler's Training Blog-Head to Knee Stretch

January 14, 2015-

Because of the incident yesterday, Pam decided to take it easy today so we'll show you a great yoga stretch/ pose  that is great for runners. This is a great stretch for those tight hamstrings out there.

I got to lie back today and be her spotter to make sure she was doing the pose right! And got some treats for being a great spotter!

Watch this video to see more on this beneficial stretch:

 

We're cooking this month, and hope to have a brand new book out shortly on being healthy with your dog(s). We think the title "30 Extraordinary ways to be healthy with your dog" will be and awesome title! What do you think?

 

Check our first book out in the meantime, and find out just how to Get Your Leash On the right way and safely!

Skyler's Blog- Legs Up the Wall

January 13,2015-

Today was a very easy day, as Pam had to take it easy after her run due to a fall- actually two falls!Scout and her were running along the trails in Northport and Scout wanted to GO, and Pam lost footing and down (LITERALLY!) she went.....she got up each time and was fine, that's how she is but nevertheless has a little bruising. Her knees where scraped up and thigh got scraped and bruised BUT more over it was her EGO!......

She'll live, hey it gave her a reason to go get some new running pants! And it gave me an easy day.

Anyway, the pose we chose to share today is a great pose for runners. It is called the LEGS UP THE WALL POSE. Here for the dog pose, our legs go up our human, be careful not to kick them over- LOL! Your person will be holding onto our legs and we will let the stretching (lightly of course) begin.

For our person's pose, they will lie on the floor and raise their legs up against the wall, and inch their butt towards the wall.....They can add their arms overhead for an extended stretch. This is also great for anyone who is on their feet all day!

It is always a great idea to have a spotter, here Pam has two- ME and Scout....how lucky is she?!?!?!

See you tomorrow,
Skyler

Skyler's Training Blog- Cow Face Fold

January 12,2015-

Today is the start of National Healthcoach week.....and my fellow Six Legged Companion Coach, Pam has earned that Certified IIN Healthcoach Title! So go out today and talk to a healthcoach, it could change your life- imagine that ONE conversation could change your life.....just imagine how a 6 month program with a healthcoach could do for you!

Okay, moving on to today's pose......

THE COW FACE FOLD

 

Skyler (me) and Sandy assisting Pam in her pose today!

 

This pose is a great pose for runners because is great for stretching the piriformis, your hips, and IT band. Which become tight in runners.

 

This is one of the poses that being present would mean everything to the success of our human companions!

 

Watch this video to see how we do it all:

 

 

Even Scout got into the picture and was there for this Doga Pose.....

 

Don't forget to check and order your copy of our new book today! To live a healthier life with your dog, written by your healthcoaches here from this blog!

See you tomorrow!

Skyler's Training Blog- Supported Shoulder Stand

January 11,2015-




The Supported Shoulder Stand can be turned into a pose for both humans and us dogs.  With a little help from Pam, I was able to demonstrate in this video.....and Sandy was our other demonstrator for the day. Hope you like what you see and try this with your dog.

For us: Have us lie on our back and simply pull our legs as gently as possible up towards the sky/ ceiling, while you support our bodies in between your legs.

For you: lie on your back and swing your legs over your head (coming as close to the floor with your leg, do this with both legs for balance in your workout!) Have one leg straight up, this may take a little practice to get exactly so....your leg behind your head will be supporting your body. Your arms should be bend and at a 90 angle holding up your back....again this can take time to master as well. Give it time to build up to getting it just so......



* Be sure to let your dogs get out of the pose when they want to or need to!
*Note- In the above photo Pam could be up taller with her body(more perpendicular with the floor) and she could have her one leg closer to the ground!

See ya tomorrow for more!

Skyler's Training Blog- Rotation Twist

January 9,2015-

So today is a stretching day for Pam so I thought I would do yoga pose that gives her a good stretch. I should also mention that before our workout Scout and her did a 5 mile run in Northport. They met up with a group, and ran. Pam said they asked about me but who knows, then again Pam hasn't lied to me yet!

 

Ok for us it's just like we were going to go roll in the grass or today the snow out in the backyard. Just imagine giving your self a nice back scratch or massage. Inside we'll let our human companions help us out! Just lie on your back face one side with your head and front paws, and let your companion bring your hind legs in the other direction.

 

Simple right, the same goes for humans....it is the same pose done by each- if I was outside I'd do it at the same time otherwise, I'll let her help me out!

 

Watch the video:

 

Tune in tomorrow for more......

Skylers Training Blog

January 8, 2015-

 



I thought this was a good stretch to stretch Pam's hamstring muscles, as a runner this will definitely come in handy! It will also help strengthen the supportive muscles of the spine, while encouraging the activation of her core muscles. As well as letting me support her in her workout.  It definitely encourages the bond between us and our humans!

Today's pose is the:

WIDE SEATED FORWARD BEND POSE

 

 

Yes, today Scout was standing by to be sure everything was being done correctly!

 

8 days into the year- how is your year going so far?!?!? Ours is productive.....and have a few surprises under our belts.....Cannot wait to share them....so stay tuned into the blog for updates as the month and year progress!

 

 

Skyler's Training Blog- The Butterfly Pose

January 7, 2015-

Today, I am going to be watching to make sure the pose is done right in the video BUT any dog and person can do the dog version together, while the human version can be done fairly easily.

To begin with you will be assisted by you human. In our case Pam will have Sandy sit in front of her and then go down to her front paws and grab hold of them. Now slowly bringing her paws up she will use her legs to steady Sandy as she sits in the doggy version of the Butterfly Pose!.....How come the dogs look so GREAT in this pose?!?!?....I guess we always truly have our wings!

For bigger dogs like myself Pam (or the person may have to stand up, while for smaller or medium dogs, the person may be on their knees- in some cases sitting).......

 

 

 

For the persons version- the person should be sitting up with a straight back.....and bring their feet in as close to their groin area as possible!

 

Okay, I have a pose ready for tomorrow, ya ready already?!?!?! I am......

 

See ya then! (and don't forget to check out our new book available on amazon....."Get Your Leash On!"

 

Skyler's Blog- the Wide Legged Forward Bend

January 6, 2015-

 

Skyler and Pam present Skylers Blog
 



 

Today I had some treats as Pam did her Yoga or Doga bends.......I love these days.....I was there for moral and physical support for Pam and heck we had some fun too! Scout was also on hand to participate.

 

Here's our daily video......

 

Okay, we're starting to get some great poses and moves for our upcoming hopeful fundraiser for the animal shelter of our choice......Dogathon here we come!

Anyway, I am enjoying doing these exercises/ poses/ moves with Pam, I love my best friend, and I know she loves me too! See you tomorrow....

 



Skylers Blog- Triangle Pose for ALL!

January 5, 2015-

Try it we all had a blast doing this pose and I think we ALL bonded that much more!

Today I am bring a pose to you that we can all do together, It is a TRIANGLE POSE and we can reap the benefits in more ways than one! While I am happy (and Scout is too) with a pet on the head of scratch behind the ear, it's always a plus to get a treat from Pam- this also helps in timing how long she hold the pose on each side! Bonus for her too!

Watch this....we are a well oiled team machine in this video:

 

Okay, So that is the pose for the day.....why not try this pose and do your variations of it as well.......

Skyler's Training Blog Day 4- Sphinx Pose

January 4, 2015-

Skyler (me) and my bestie Scout doing the Sphinx pose!

 



There are some poses that I can do the same time as Pam.....one of them is the Sphinx pose!....This pose is pretty natural for us, all we have to do is lie down and keep our head up......We have to teach our people how to do the pose however......geez, I have to teach her everything!

 

 

Here's our video to show you how to do the pose:

Day Two- Supine Twist for both members of the team!

January 2, 2015-



Today, I came up with a Yoga move that has a version for both us  and our human companions. It is called the .......

SUPINE TWIST

 

 

This pose soothes the nervous system and quiets the mind. If you suffer from Insomnia, try this move as it will get our body ready for a restful slumber.

 

So that is our move of the day.....check back tomorrow for yet another move you can do with your best friend!

 



Start of a new training blog by Skyler

January 1, 2015-

 

Okay, that is ME- Skyler and my best friend Pam. She and I were running partners until about 2 years ago when I hung up my leash and was forced to find some other form of exercise. In the past 1.5 years I have been doing Doga with my favorite Dogi- Pam!.....I'd call her a Yogi but Doga is Dog Assisted Yoga or Yoga with a twist, so a bit different!

 

Anyway, we have been training this way for sometime but this year we intend on doing a Dogathon.....in which we will come up with so many new poses to share with others and on one chosen day put it all together in one routine!

 

We will be putting our meditations, stands, twists, bends, triangle poses, downward dogs, extended puppy poses, etc....and all into one day of Dogapoloza moves!

 

As of now, we are hoping for February 14th to be that day, this day is tentative, as our training will dictate how things go!

 

Everyday in the month of January- if I can get Pam to commit and stick with this as well- I want to bring one new exercise/ move that incorporates your dog into the mix! It can be us helping and supporting you or it can be a pose for you humans and one for us (you know your 4 legged best friends).

 

Ok, So here is todays move:

THE STANDING FOWARD BEND

 

 

 

Anytime people and their dogs are interacting in anyway, the health of each of them improves greatly! There are studies that support me in this too!

 

Oh while I have you attention.....Pamela and I have teamed up to become the Six Legged Companion Coach to help people and their dogs (or any animal for that matter) live the healthiest and happiest of lives possible. We work with clients one on one as well as through social medias and all......Why not go on over to www.doggonehealthychoices.com and see about a consultation and find out if a healthcoach is right for you to help you meet your goals!

 

And the one last note, Pamela co-wrote this new book with myself and Sandy and our other pack members Candycane, Scout, and Benji.... Why not check it out....here is the info:
