Because Evita is pregnant I only do a little bit of exercising each day. We do a bit of bending forward to flex her back.
First she steps with the front left leg forward, than the right front leg, this one a bit further than the left. After this the left front again so they are at the same line. She is now standing with her forelegs far from her hindlegs. I say "deep" and she lowers her nose between her front hooves. Not bending her head under her legs like the compliment.
Because this exercise takes different smal ones it is very nice to do and to teach different movements with different parts of the body.
Personally I don't use any attributes.I move bodyparts with my hands in the beginning adding a vocal comment to it. After this the touching becomes more subtile untill only poining awith a hand or looking at the body part is enough. Together with the vocal comment.
