Puppy fitness classPuppy Fitness Course

Purpose: Extended 8 lesson puppy fitness course 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

  • Enlightened appreciation of the puppy
  • How to evaluate structure in relation to function & potential injury

 From Lisa Russell after taking her CBCC-KA exam – “…anyone wanting to either learn about the dynamics of canine behavior, interaction and social structure should take the Understanding Canine Behavior course. This course will not only provide you with detailed knowledge to be successful with working dogs but will also help prepare those desiring to take the CCPDT exams. You may think you know everything there is about dog behavior but this course leaves no doubt in your mind, all the while enhancing your knowledge and sharpening your observation skills through photo and video presentations, which worked for me. I would recommend this course to advanced trainers and a must for beginners in the field of training dogs.  “

I would consider this a five star course.  There is a great deal of information that is managabley covered in 10 units for 6 months.  Learning to see and determine a dog’s emotional state and dog to do interactions is thoroughly disected in still photos and videos.  Reading the papers, studies and articles  adds layers of understanding.  Finally, the recquired book, Canine Behavior, A photo illustrated Handbook, is a fantastic addition to any trainers library.

Introduction to Conditioning the Performance Dog

By |

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!
