Basic Exercises- Step one
One of the most important things to consider is that we must teach the basics to get to the advanced level for behaviors, exercises or within your given sport. Poor form on an exercise, on jumping, heeling, standing for conformation, or even out runs for herding only create bad habits and adaptation of the body in a way that we do not want to promote. When thinking about muscle memory for exercises, this likely will end in weakness of muscles that we are trying to work and ultimately increase the chance of injury down the road.
From our Science section and the “why” we do a conditioning program discussion:
“Slow, precise movements allow for strengthening of the weaker muscles and at the same time allows the body to sense what muscles are engaged when performing a particular movement thus improving the neuromuscular reaction. Over time this helps the body to recognize what muscles are needed for certain activities quickly and efficiently thus decreasing reaction times and improving speed, as well as minimizing injuries. The more motion in an exercise the harder it is for the nervous system to recognize a wrong move and correct it. The body will continue to default to the stronger muscles and ignore the weak ones resulting in more imbalance. Slow and precise with proper form is the key!”
In all things training, slowing the processes down to focus on the small parts allows us to put the pieces together, so in the end we will have a complete picture. Your pup does not have to be an athlete or sporting dog to benefit from training and exercises. These types of activities help to form a strong bond between us and our 4-legged companion while building a healthy future regardless of age or breed.
