Interested in a dog specific canine treadmill for NEW ZEALAND PEOPLE?

I've been chatting with Grace Canine to find an appropriate one that Grace can bring to NZ! I like the features on this, and the price is awesome! Grace is able to provide these pre order's only, so talk to her directly if you have questions.

Note: Picture just one option from the cool PDF file catalogue of all her treadmill options!

Did you know that your dogs front (thoracic) limb isint attached to their body like us, with our collarbone? Instead they have muscle and soft tissue that holds the front limb on their body. This means that muscle is really important!

My workshop 'The Will to Workout 3' runs this weekend over at Fenzi Dog Sports Academy. This is the third in a series of workout based workshops, that combine some fitness theory, with a full workout!

The theory we are covering in this workshop includes:
- How fitness changes for lifestage
- Prepairing for big events
- Revcovery from big events

And we have the full workout (which is different from the first two workouts in the series), and also additional information on bodywork.

Let me know if you have questions!

How interesting is this??!?!

TLDR: yellow labs are more likely to have a cruciate rupture than other coloured labs. This is to do with other impacts to ligaments, from one specific gene in yellow coloured labs.

For all those with yellow Labradors and anyone with friends who have them.
Very interesting new study on the link between colour and predisposition for CCL rupture.

The more we know about our dogs the more power we have to put into place preventative measures! 🥰

Prevention is always better than cure!

All credit to Laurie Edge-Hughes for sharing this information.

It’s based on the following study:



Lee BT, Baker LA, Momen M, Terhaar H, Binversie EE, Sample SJ, Muir P. Identification of genetic variants associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture and AKC standard coat color in the Labrador Retriever. BMC Genom Data. 2023 Oct 26;24(1):60.



And here’s the short synopsis:



Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries are a common cause of lameness in dogs, particularly in breeds like Labrador Retrievers. Interestingly, recent research has uncovered a potential link between coat color and the risk of CCL rupture. Labrador Retrievers, which come in black, chocolate, and yellow, show different risks for this injury, with yellow Labs being more susceptible.



The study suggests that genetic factors linked to coat color might also influence the likelihood of CCL injuries. Specifically, the MC1R gene, which determines yellow coat color, is involved in inflammatory pathways that could predispose dogs to ligament issues. The researchers used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genes associated with both CCL injuries and coat color, focusing on a region of chromosome 5 near the MC1R gene. This region showed significant associations with CCL rupture, suggesting a complex interplay between genetic traits that influence both coat color and joint health.

Interestingly, the study also identified several other genes related to bone and cartilage health, inflammation, and gene regulation that may contribute to CCL rupture. These findings highlight the complex genetic landscape behind this common canine injury and open the door for further research into how coat color and other seemingly unrelated traits might influence health outcomes in dogs.



This groundbreaking study not only advances our understanding of CCL injuries in dogs but also provides valuable insights into the genetic factors that could help predict and prevent these injuries. As research continues, we may find more connections between seemingly unrelated traits and disease risk, ultimately improving the health and well-being of our canine companions.

The Will to Workout 3 Workshop with

This third workout in the workshop series, The Will to Workout, will continue with canine fitness concepts including how fitness may differ over different life stages, and over the course of a year as we are building and recovering from large events.

We will then run through one complete general workout from beginner level in each exercise, to more advanced levels of exercises. This is a completely different workout from the previous workshops. We will also have an introduction to bodywork (massage) in this workshop.

Chace 11 years ago today.

Today she didn't hear me or wake up when I let the other dogs out, and then got an old lady groom consisting of cutting fluffy feet to help her not fall over, nails, and using clippers to quickly cut dreads out. Even though she needs a bath I didn't give her one, because she's old and it's cold.

Having an old dog is both a privilege and sad. I'm thankful we still have her here and (she seems) happy.

I've had requests for a repeat of my NZDAC (New Zealand Dog Agility Competition - our national event) online preparation class.

This online class will prepair you, and your dogs for this big event with fitness workouts, help with warm up, agility skills and drills, nutrition, and much more!

There's also a group associated with the class where you can ask questions, and post video for feedback if needed.

I'm a big fan of snuffling! Scatters are awesome, and usefully for so many things.... from decreasing arousal to helping in a stressful situation.

Sometimes we might want to avoid throwing treats on the ground. For times like this I use a snuffle box. It's a snuffle mat in a box, which contains the treats

Here's instructions on how to make your own: https://hybriddogtraining.blogspot.com/2018/12/snuffle-mat-in-box.html?m=1

This week Evo turned 9. Whilst he didn't get to do agility this weekend (we think he has laryngeal paralysis so only dabbles occasionally in the jumping these days!), he did get a brand new purple Toppl with some super tasy treats in! He can be a barking idiot, but really is the sweetest boy ever. And the best most tolerant dog with Blake, who calls him 'Eyo'.

Happy Birthday buddy 💓

Rohan is all ready for my Treadmill Workshop with

Treadmills are an awesome tool for fitness, but did you know you can use them for more than just cardiovascular fitness (walking and trotting)? There are a large number of exercises you can do to target different parts of your dog's body, to work on strength and proprioception as well as cardiovascular fitness.

The lecture is published Saturday the 20th US PT, then you have 10 days to work on exercises before working students post a homework video for feedback.
