Does Your Dog Like to Sit Pretty??

Does your dog like to “sit pretty”?? 😍

It is a super cute trick and can be a beneficial exercise IF done properly.

This is one of Rink’s favorite tricks!! :)

As you can see on the left vs the right, her posture is quite different. The right side her posture has gotten A LOT better since doing her fitness exercises.

Things to look for:
🐾 Straight back with no arc. (Rink is sideways in her picture on the left)

🐾Arms straight/relaxed/in the same position. If you are having them wave or do an exercise in this position that is different (On the left, Rink’s back is twisted so her arms are not straight and this is causing strain on her shoulders.)

🐾KNEES! This is a BIG part. Make sure knees are tucked in towards the body and NOT facing outward. (In the first picture, Rink has her knees pushed out a bit to the sides and she used to be even worse at this.) When the knees face outward, it puts a TON of strain on those joints. Making sure your pet can do this properly is super important!
