Introduction to Conditioning the Performance Dog
To achieve the greater goal of a long career and healthy aging – not just a good run.
Course Information:
- WHO? Your dog! Does he have “athletic” structure which will support him during your chosen event or be damaged by the multiple stresses of training and competition? What degree of angulation does he have; is it similar front to hind and what is the big “trade-off” created by angulation extremes, its impact on muscle development and optimal movement. What can we learn watching dog’s gait?
- WHAT are the 5 important attributes for performance dogs? How important is Proprioception for a performance dog, and how can we improve this key sense.
- WHERE will the dog need these structural traits for optimal performance? How can we predict injury potential when certain aspects are weak?
- WHEN should we plan to condition each aspect during training, competition & off seasons? Why is it important to create pre-, competition and –post season routines?
- WHY will conditioning prevent / minimize sport related injuries? Have you ever considered the connection between metabolism, physical development and injury potential? What is “tapering” and how will this technique extend your dog’s career and keep him ‘sharp’
- HOW will optimal condition enhance the dog’s ability to recover from a crisis – and what is the impact that ‘drives’ will have on injury and rehabilitation outcomes?
This presentation will introduce you to the various topics of discussion in the Conditioning a Performance Dog program and leave you with the skills to raise each dog better than the last – for the dog’s sake!

How to Build the Perfect Puppy: Quick – Puppies UN-Puzzled
Preventing Injuries & the need for Rehabilitation by Preserving Function in 60 minutes!
Course Information: The concepts behind all the theories discussed in our PreHab for Puppies course are based on and begin with scientific facts – growth plate closure times, the imbalance these create and the risks of injuries due to asymmetrical muscle and connective tissue development.
Intrigued?
We begin by asking, how much stress can immature bodies endure without suffering long-term negative consequences?
Our approach to raising puppies up to 2yrs of age provides exercise and activity suggestions which are safe and appropriate for the age and stage of growth your puppy is at in order to avoid the risk of early onset micro-injuries that set in motion many of the degenerative conditions commonly blamed on poor genetics and aging.
We discuss Angulation, Structural Extremes and identify the five important (physical) attributes for puppies.
This introductory presentation will provide you with some of the most significant Injury factors – including growth (which creates its own form of stress); the risks of inappropriate exercise and a sample guideline to providing safe activities.
Our section on Nutritional considerations is just the basics of feeding to support health and activity yet will give you enough information that you will be able to make informed choices about a diet for your puppy.
Finally we give some examples of the exercise recommendations we make during the PreHab for Puppies course which will support strong, healthy muscle development and avoid the pitfalls of too much too soon! Like Doggie Yoga!
