Exercises to build the front end / shoulders?

I'm looking for specific exercises/work to help build Banja's front end muscling. She's a 1yr old (12.5mos) pup who is lean, cut and has a very athletic build. She has good bone, is around 24-25" and weighs in at 74.5lbs.

I don't want any truly high-joint-stress activities for her yet. She jumps easily at 16 and 20", and is quite happy to do full Aframes in agility. However, she's still got some puppy laxity in her shoulders, so I think 16" is the highest we'll go for now, and I've gotta lower the Aframe.

It's still too cold to swim dogs here in New England (outside anyway), though that is on the main menu, once the weather warms up. She LOVES to swim!! :)

Love to hear any ideas!! Thanks! :D
