How to Build the Perfect Puppy: Quick – Puppies UN-Puzzled

By |

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!

Introduction to All Fit Dog

By |

Over-all Fitness for all dogs at all stages of life!

Course Information: “Fitness” is one of the measures of the 10 elements of health that exercise will enhance and/or improve. The All-Fit Dog program uses a fitness model designed to improve all elements of health (also known as physical skills) using functional movement (exercises) to strengthen muscles, enhance endurance & flexibility in addition to preventing injuries and improve recovery when crisis happens.

The All-Fit Dog program addresses issues of soundness created by inherited structural weaknesses that are not simple differences of opinion any longer. They are about the fundamentals of essential conformation and functional movement for health and well being. Degenerative conditions created by inherited instability are not defensible any longer as too many of the fundamental traits for sound conformation which are essential, for and now unable, to support life are being sacrificed.

During this presentation we will introduce you to the various topics we discuss during the All-Fit Dog course: Fitness, Exercise, and the 10 Elements of Health and Nutritional considerations. Have you ever wondered what the EFA’s are for a dog to be “fit for life”, how structure will affect gait, muscle development and overall fitness levels? Finally we will provide some food for thought for puppies and the various changes we can make so our dogs can experience healthy aging with vitality.
