This exercise is basically like a push-up for dogs. The dog starts this exercise in the sit position, then to a lying position, then back to a sit using the front feet. This exercise is very important for older dogs because the action of rising from a lying down position can be difficult for geriatric animals. Performing this exercise and increase strength and help with these day-to-day activities.
