Puppy LifeClass Educator: How to Support Each Stage of a Puppy’s Development

March 3, 2016 By Cheryl Aguiar |

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

What a student can expect to learn from this course:

  • Enlightened appreciation of the puppy
  • How to evaluate structure in relation to function & potential injury
  • Understanding of basic how activity impacts the body
  • Importance of maintaining balance/proprioception during growth spurts to achieve optimal wellness
  • Skills that will enhance abilities to raise and train each dog better than the last
