Instability training is a fun way to bond with your dog, teach them a new behavior and strengthen the core ~ which is the powerhouse of your dog’s body. Fun fitness training with the K9FITbone™ is also a great way to reduce stress, burn excess calories, and it’s a healthy “job” for your dog.

WORK IT:

  • Use a treat to encourage the dog to put its back feet on the K9FITbone or the Giant K9FITbone. Once the feet are up, name the behavior “Back up” This will become a command, like “Sit” or “Down.”
  • Practice holding the position for recommended duration.
  • Encourage with voice and treats to make the exercise fun.
  • Release the dog from the position by saying “OK” or “All done” in a mild tone of voice. Save the praise and excitement for when the dog is doing the behavior.

 

TECHNIQUE:

You may walk the dog over the K9FITbone to place back feet. As your dog becomes more skilled, back the dog onto the K9FITbone for positioning. Hind limb awareness is a challenge for some dogs so you may need to lift the back legs to start to show positioning. Reward placement.

 

OBEDIENCE TRAINING:

This is a great exercise for dogs who are “wiggly” and have a difficult time learning a Sit Stay command. Having to think about keeping their feet up on a K9FITbone helps them to concentrate more. Because the K9FITbone is raised up from the floor, the dog also understands more clearly when they break the stay because they experience a level change.
