Social Extension Cavaletti
Cavalettis and FastCAT dogs? ⁉️ ⁉️
🏃The Extension Cavaletti Exercise gives your dog a looooong stride length.
Fewer strides = faster times (and more titles)
For more ways to improve performance in your FastCAT dog, we hope to see you at our Fitness for FastCAT seminar Feb 15, 2025 in Springfield MO.
🐶Thank you to Springfield Family Dog Training for hosting us and Ryder for being an awesome demo dog!

Social Elevated Tuck Sit
It's Fitness Friday!
Fitness for Focused Heeling: Elevated tuck sit to kick back stand!
Your dog weight shifts to the rear with they look up at you in heel. Put a platform under their front feet also weight shifts to the rear. This strengthens the hips and abs so your dog can go from a halt to a heel with ease.
Try this at home and let me know how it goes!
