Training Exercise - Proprioception - What is proprioception? According to the Oxford dictionary - Proprioception is the perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body.

“exercises to improve balance and proprioception”

Proprioception is something that can be introduced for all dogs as it benefits puppies and seniors, injured and healthy and everyone else too. It helps them know where their feet and body is in space (reducing chances of accidental injury) as well as keeping them physically fit, mentally enriched, it also builds confidence. Always work at your dogs level. This level involves their age, stamina, skill, fitness and health. If your dog is elderly or suffers from injuries or health conditions - please seek the advice of a veterinary physiotherapist before taking on this task.

Start simple. It can be as easy as walking on different surfaces - such as grass, astro-turf, pillows, leaves, etc.

As your dog or puppy gains confidence, use wobbly surfaces and have them stand with two feet on, two fee off. Build this up to 4 feet on. Ask for position changes - only if they are capable of doing so.

You can use tarps and tunnels for different textures, shallow water pits, ball pits etc.

Make small hurdles using brooms and mops at about the height of a single brick for most dogs - (ankle/wrist height) of the dog - then have them walk SLOWLY through. Concentrating on not knocking them down.

When using rewards to guide them through or on to an object - keep the reward low. If the animal is on leash, make sure it is loose, and they have the choice to get on/off, walk through or avoid the object. Remember choice is powerful and reinforcing.

Keep sessions short, and finish while you are all still having fun.

Over the weekend I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to train with Megan Bell. There were lots of laughs, failures and learning! Trust, at just 18 months of age, is coming along so well and I’m excited to develop our teamwork and skill set together. My little lemon pie 🍋🥧 Such a special girl!!

The boys - what can I say! Brave was simply awesome and young Seeker has so much potential! He’s got a fire in his belly now 🔥

I’m looking forward to staying home and focusing on training the young dogs over the summer months, hopefully returning to competition in the Autumn 🍁
