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!
