The planning and preparation was all worth it to host my first ever conditioning workshop.

Today’s was the Flex N Fly workshop geared towards our Flyball canine athletes.

Lots of learning, canine assessment, exercises and fun for dogs and their handlers.

I can’t wait to host the next one.

It’s been a week since I met some lovely dogs and their owners to complete my training alongside some other very knowledge coaches in order to be able to teach workshops on body conditioning espeically for different types of sports dogs.

I’m very excited to also be having a trial run with the projector which will help with the theory elements of the workshops.

It’s very exciting!

Another dog using a Flying Pupstars Fitness and Conditioning in their preparation for Crufts 2023.

Amber is 10 years old, she has completed conditioning in foundation up to more advanced programmes which has kept her in top top condition and competing with similar times to her younger years.

Following a minor op she had some uneven muscle build up. After a personalised conditioning programme by Flying Pupstars Fitness and Conditioning and hydrotherapy from one of our recommended hydrotherapists she is now back to a balanced and strong dog.

She will continue with a maintenance programme to ensure she remains comfortable, strong and powerful in her canine sport.

As part of my license and of my commitment to my clients of keeping up to date with conditioning and fitness I attend regular CPD.

I really enjoyed this session last week looking at condition scoring systems when looking at overall body shape and dogs weight loss journeys by Dr Caroline Taylor.

Welcome to The Slim Pet Vet. If you care about your dog's weight and need help, join our growing community and access amazing resources.

Beautiful veteran who struggled to stand without adjusting herself due to weakness in one side from past injury (which had fully healed and had completed rehab), completed the foundation conditioning and had a much more balanced and stronger stand.

18/11/2022

Canine conditioning is great to improve performance and balanced muscle development in sporting dogs particularly in those sports where one side is used more than others.

Due to the nature of the exercises these can also be adapted and used for geriatric dogs to make the more comfortable ease movement.
