Because we are repeating the movements each time, you may inadvertently cause muscles to develop differently on the left and right sides of the body and start to cause muscle imbalances.<\/p>\n<p>We want the muscles to develop evenly on the left and right sides of the body by asking for the dog&#8217;s head to remain forward. &nbsp;This is more easily achieved by having you stand in front of the dog for the treat delivery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: text;\">Vary the time you want the dog to hold this position between 2 &#8211; 5 seconds at the start and build from there for longer times. &nbsp;If your dog starts to move his feet (happy feet) be more generous with your rewards when he is standing still and then release him from the position and start again. &nbsp;As they become stronger, they will be able to hold the position longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: var(--tva-skin-color-0);\">Hint:<\/span><\/strong> if your dog&#8217;s back legs are wide or too close to the box, add a platform that encourages a narrower stance and place the platform at a point that encourages the dog to stand with perpendicular hocks.<\/p>\n<p>Only ask for more precise work as your dog becomes familiar with the exercise and is strong enough to hold himself in position. &nbsp;This does not happen overnight, so be patient with your dog.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to start slow and build your dog&#8217;s confidence with the equipment first before asking for precision and don&#8217;t forget to reward often.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464035\" style=\"cursor: text;\"><strong>Progressions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Before adding any further challenges to this exercise (such as a rock-back sit or pivot), ensure that your dog:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>first meets the posture criteria set out above&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>can hold the position for at least 10 seconds. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>is able to wait to be released (avoid self-releasing as this can be too energetic and cause an injury)<\/li>\n<li>can complete 8 repetitions with proper form<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have achieved this, then feel free to progress as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add extra repetitions with correct posture criteria (max of 15)<\/li>\n<li>Add more sets (max of 3)<\/li>\n<li>Increase the speed of repetitions<\/li>\n<li>Place the dog in a sit approx. half a meter (1-2 feet) [depending on the size of your dog] away from the elevated box and ask him to place his front feet on it from a sit<\/li>\n<li>Feel free to use different pieces of equipment, even a tree stump outside, of different heights<\/li>\n<li>Use smaller or narrow objects (e.g. 2 x 2 pieces of wood, a brick or paw pods)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"t-1638887464045\" style=\"cursor: text;\">Exercise Videos &#8211; Elevated Front Foot Targeting (pop-up)<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464046\" style=\"cursor: text;\">Video 1 &#8211; Treat placement for front feet elevated<\/h4>\n<p>This video demonstrates just how important treat placement is. &nbsp;If the treat placement is too low, we take the weight shift off the back legs and move it onto the shoulders and do not get the muscles along the spine to contract and hold.<\/p>\n<p>Treat placement should be high to get the head to reach and place the spine heck and head in a straight line.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464047\">Video 2 &#8211; Artemis performing front feet raised on an elevated<\/h4>\n<p>In this video I am using a back platform to help with posture, and I am asking him to hold the position with some extra &#8220;pumps&#8221; or forward stretches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464048\">Video 3 &#8211; Artemis performing front feet raised on an elevated with added Rock-Back Sit<\/h4>\n<p>A larger dog powering onto a platform &#8211; it is important to ensure that the platform is stable and does not tip over.

This is quite normal when first starting this exercise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once they start to understand the exercise and target their hind paws consistently, then start to ask for more precision before giving a reward i.e. reward when your dog has front or hind feet even. For this exercise, try and work the back feet first and then the front.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If your dog has a wide stance, slowly work towards a narrower piece of equipment to help them position their feet more directly under their hips.<\/p>\n<p>If your dog has a narrow stance, throw a reset treat. Ask the dog to approach the plank and reset them with their head slightly raised as this will transfer weight toward the back end. &nbsp;Many times, this weight shift towards the back will help the dog widen his legs to balance the extra weight easier.

If your dog is struggling to find proper front or hind paw positioning, make it easier by choosing easier equipment.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"t-1638887464050\" style=\"cursor: text;\">Videos &#8211; Elevated Rear Foot Targeting<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464051\">Video 1 &#8211; Artemis working the rear foot raised exercise.<\/h4>\n<p>You can see how much he must concentrate on placing his feet on the smaller platform. &nbsp;If your dog struggles with this, please use a bigger platform. You want to ensure success when starting out in this exercise.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464052\">Video 2 &#8211; Artemis demonstrating an incorrect treat placement<\/h4>\n<p>This video demonstrates the importance of treat placement in your exercises. &nbsp;We start off with the incorrect placement of having a treat held high causing an arch in the spine and neck with over angulation stressing the joints in the rear legs. &nbsp;Then I lower the treat and bring Artemis forward and you will see how nicely his posture corrects itself.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464053\">Video 3 &#8211; Attica demonstrating an incorrect treat placement<\/h4>\n<p>Here you will notice that she tries to execute and reach the treat, but also finds it extremely uncomfortable and sits at the opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464054\">Video 4 &#8211; Attica&#8217;s first session of rear foot targeting<\/h4>\n<p>At the 0:55 mark (after my treat failure and restart) I try to start a front weight shift to correct her front feet, but that just brings her rear foot off the box. &nbsp;I place slight back-pressure on the treat and she is back up on the box with a self-correction of her front feet. At 1:20 I try a manual adjustment and then at 1:44 se gets the idea (with bells on!)<\/p>\n<p>At 2:20 she starts showing first signs of fatigue &#8211; this was a long session.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"t-1638887464055\">Video 5 &#8211; Attica&#8217;s second session later on<\/h4>\n<p style=\"cursor: text;\">She shows a much better understanding of the exercise with better control. &nbsp;We due repetitions through performing a rock-back sit with the exercises. At 1:53 she starts to show signs of fatigue (quite understandable as we had added another demand on the muscles) and we finish off for the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-8981","tva_lesson","type-tva_lesson","status-publish","hentry","tva_courses-bk-9-foundational-strength-program","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Biokinetic K-9<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dogsolutions.co.za\/biokinetic-k9\/course\/elevated-targets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Elevated Targets - The Biokinetic K-9\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Join Us for a Live Group Call on this Lesson\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dogsolutions.co.za\/biokinetic-k9\/course\/elevated-targets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Biokinetic K-9\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thebiokinetick9\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-04-25T23:53:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dogsolutions.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Attica-muscles-worked-in-a-pop-up-stand.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"11 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/\",\"name\":\"Elevated Targets - The Biokinetic K-9\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/12\\\/Attica-muscles-worked-in-a-pop-up-stand.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-12-07T20:52:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-04-25T23:53:25+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/12\\\/Attica-muscles-worked-in-a-pop-up-stand.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/12\\\/Attica-muscles-worked-in-a-pop-up-stand.jpg\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/course\\\/elevated-targets\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dogsolutions.co.za\\\/biokinetic-k9\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Foundations in Strength Building &#8211;
