Purpose: 8 lesson webinar where you learn how puppies grow, what their nutritional and exercise needs are to enhance body awareness, self-confidence and to support each stage of your puppy’s development.
Course Information: This course will focus on puppies from eight weeks up to eighteen months of age. We begin with structural evaluation of your dog as it relates to function – in other words we are evaluating for purpose, not for fancy. This will reveal your puppy’s areas of weakness (i.e. straight shoulders, high neck set, no dewclaws, cow-hocked, sloping croup, etc). Each session will be dedicated to a different region of the dog as we discuss the different stages of development, including growth plate closure and use this information to guide us as we develop a more conscious approach to puppy development instead of destruction.
Prerequisites: None
Please note: In the For Credit course, you will need access to a puppy or dog to complete your required homework.
