Take a Bow

Here are 3 short videos of me working on my latest skill outdoors. This may seem like just a cute trick but bowing is one component of a full body stretch.  Stretching (in a correct manner) is as important for a canine athlete as it is for a human athlete.  Being able to stretch "on command" is very useful when training for a rigorous sport such as agility.   Knowing what my body looks like when I bow is also important as not being able to bow fully or bowing in a funny way may be an indicator of a tender spot or an injury which might otherwise go  unnoticed (we can be very good at hiding such things).
