💪 Reduce the Risk of Muscle Tears with Proper Conditioning 🐾 Did you know the most common reason for muscle tears is via indirect injuries? Also known as strains, these injuries occur when a muscle is overstretched or forced to contract too hard. This is often seen during high-energy activities like running, jumping, or quick changes in direction. 🏃‍♀️🐕 When a muscle is pushed beyond its limits – especially if it’s tired, weak, or not warmed up – microscopic damage can occur. In more severe cases, this can lead to partial or complete tears. 😬 Injuries like this don’t just affect performance; they can lead to long recovery times and limit your dog’s ability to do what they love. But here’s the good news: a well-rounded conditioning programme can make all the difference! 🎉 ✨ Why Conditioning is Key Conditioning builds muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance, which are all vital for reducing the risk of injury: 👉 Strength training helps muscles handle the demands of running, jumping, and sudden movements. 👉 Flexibility exercises improve the range of motion, reducing the chance of overstretching. 👉 Endurance training keeps muscles performing longer without fatiguing, preventing injury caused by overexertion. By incorporating proper conditioning into your dog’s routine, you’re not just enhancing their physical abilities – you’re preparing their body to handle the stresses of an active lifestyle safely and effectively. 🐕‍🦺 🏋️‍♀️ Stay Safe, Stay Strong 🏋️‍♀️ Take the time to include conditioning exercises into your dog’s training. It’s an investment in their health, happiness, and long-term performance! 💖 Want help getting your dog started with conditioning?

🐶 Does your dog know sit pretty? 🐕 Did you know the popular trick ‘sit pretty’ could harm your dog’s spine? While it might look cute, the biomechanics tell a different story. This exercise can place up to 180 Newtons of force on spinal facet joints—compared to just 26 Newtons in a natural standing position! The only movement that comes close is navigating stairs. ❤️‍🩹 For breeds with long backs (like Dachshunds) or those already prone to spinal issues (e.g., intervertebral disc disease), this stress is even more concerning. Over time, these excessive forces can lead to facet joint wear, spinal instability, and even spondylosis—a condition where the spine develops excessive bone growth to stabilise damaged areas. 📚Laurie Edge-Hughes, a respected canine physiotherapist, highlights that dogs aren’t anatomically designed to balance upright for extended periods. Unlike humans, they lack the ligaments needed to stabilise the lumbar spine in this posture. Instead, the spine is forced into unnatural extensions, creating unnecessary strain on joints, muscles, and discs. ⚖️ But don’t worry—there are plenty of safer and more effective ways to help your dog build strength and improve balance! There are many exercises designed to target your dogs core, providing excellent conditioning benefits without the risks associated with ‘sit pretty.’ 💚 While we aren’t saying no dog should sit pretty ever again, we are asking people to be mindful. We do not use this position as a conditioning exercise. Remember, your dog’s long-term health and comfort matter more than any trick! Always prioritise functional movements that align with their natural anatomy. 👉 Tag a dog owner who needs to know this!

🎉 Is your dog truly fit and ready for life’s adventures? 🐾 Did you know that canine conditioning isn’t just for sporty dogs or agility pros? 🐕✨ Whether your pup is a couch potato, a weekend warrior, or a full-on athlete, fitness exercises can transform their life! 💪 Here’s how: 🌟 Boosts Strength & Power: Conditioning strengthens key muscle groups, improving mobility and reducing strain on joints. Stronger muscles = a lower risk of injury. 📚 Research shows targeted exercise can help prevent common issues like ACL tears. 🤸 Improves Balance & Body Awareness: Ever seen your dog stumble or struggle on uneven terrain? Conditioning exercises teach them how to navigate life’s obstacles with confidence—whether that’s a rocky trail or slick kitchen tiles. 🐾 🐕‍🦺 Reduces Injury Risk: Just like humans, dogs benefit from prehabilitation. Conditioning builds resilience, so your dog is ready for unexpected twists, turns, and leaps. 🎉 Boosts Confidence & Engagement: Fun, interactive exercises and games make fitness enjoyable for your pup while increasing their mental stimulation. A happy brain = a happy dog! 🧠✨ 💨 Supports Recovery & Longevity: Conditioning helps dogs bounce back faster from intense activity or periods of rest, keeping them active and vibrant well into their golden years. 🐾💛 👩‍🔬 Science-backed fact: Regular strength training improves a dog’s endurance, posture, and ability to stabilise their core, which helps them stay agile and active longer. 🧬✨ Ready to take your pup’s health to the next level? 🐾💪 Whether it’s building strength, improving balance, or boosting confidence, we’ll create a plan tailored to YOUR dog’s needs. 👉 Comment “1-2-1 fitness” to learn more about our private fitness sessions today.
