Clarification on dynamic stretching:
Standing high fives: dog is standing (four paws on the ground) and giving you a high five.
Sitting wave: dog waves 3-5 times in a row before putting his paw down.
Toe-kicks: same as standing high fives, but while you're standing facing the dog, you lift your foot about dog's elbow height so dog has to shift weight forward and reach forward to touch your foot with its paw. Switch feet and continue. It's ok if your dog starts to take a step forward to adjust for the weight shift, you can just take a step back.
Figure 8 through legs: make sure you change directions. Many don't believe me but a direction change is required.
Circle work: large enough circles to get your dog into and maintain a trot. Change of direction is required.
Walking backwards: when dog is going backwards make sure it's in a straight line.
