Hi Y’all!
Interesting post.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Love this! Thanks for stopping by our blog hop. It’s nice to meet you! I’m heading off to do squat weaves with Rocco now!

Squat weaves rock.
Suggested progression: you weave under the dog as they drop into a partial squat!
Thanks for joining FitDog Friday!
Cool idea! 🙂 I’d be interested in seeing how this would work with lunges!
Lunges will be coming up! They are great fun…
We love exercises you can do WITH your dog! Always a bonus when you are both exercising at the same time. Thanks for the great fitness drill.
Great Workout! Love to see more Karen!
Thanks so much for your comments, it is so great to bond with your dog through shared physical activity right? I can’t wait to bring everyone more dog inclusive fitness drills – they are already in the editing suite! Hugs and pats to all
