When we talk about dogs offloading during exercises or sport this is a great example of a subtle offload that is easy to miss if you are moving fast but taking the time to end workouts or practice by slowing down, doing basic movements and stretches you can look then to see if your dogs is not balanced.

There’s a lot of different reasons dogs will offload and digging and understanding why you are seeing it in your dog can help be an early step in preventing a much more serious issue

Love getting agility photos for so many reason, one of them being I love to see in a close up, moment in time how my dog is using their body to navigate a course. It makes me appreciate all the work they do that I can’t see in real time and also reminds me just how much our fitness routines matter for not only their performance but health

Cropped a few of my photos from (sorry for cropping so tight the water mark is missing on some) to really help highlight some of the movements that caught my eye

If you have any current or past event photos that really highlight your dog’s strength and athleticism, I’d love to see them posted in the comments below

Really great bundle for getting started in canine fitness!! Plus a lesson with Bobbie!! Really sweet deal!!

Batch of courses from the Low Country Dog Agility club trail in South Carolina! Most of these ran as expected and I was quite happy, mental note on a few things to do differently in the future. Always learning!!

Really lovely 2 days teaching in South Carolina!! Getting a break from the Michigan weather was an added bonus for me!
This was two days of make-up seminars after they got cancelled due to SNOW in January. Well this trip was a heat wave, so got to work the extremes :)

Attached is a map and just one of the sequences the International/Masters group worked on and did SO well on!! Super impressed!!

Today I got to do something unique, teach a fitness seminar outside in someone’s backyard. At first I wasn’t sure how this would go but after doing it, it was a fantastic format!!! Loved having a semi-private group where we could nerd out about fitness, talk more 1:1 about each dog in the group and everyone walked away learning more than they probably ever imagined because of this more private setting!!

Super grateful to Christina Ludwig for setting this up!! Definitely will be adding this to my offerings for others in the future

It didn’t hurt that the weather was absolutely perfect today!!!

Just added my latest set of maps to my album (sorry they are out of order, I promise I nest better, there are little numbers in the upper right corner if you wanted to see the build sequence for the trial)

Do you think any of these athletes only practice just their sport?

The answer I would bet a lot of money on is no, these athletes have intense strength and conditioning programs that are suited for each of them, for the sport they compete in!!

It is important we do the same for our canine athletes as well. They should have a fitness plan that supports their structure/body type for the activities that they compete in

If you can make the time to train your dog for a sport, you can make the time to also make sure their bodies are able to perform in their sport with proper conditioning

🎬🧼📦

I do offer a very low cost way to get introduced to canine fitness, through my Canine Fitness Basics course, for only $35, learn all you need to get the very basic movements mastered, check out the details about that here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14wmTgbGyZ/

Here is a Friday Fun Tip for you!!

One of the challenges with using cavalettis in a workout is not being able to keep them setup and then having to reset them back to your spacing each and every time you want to use them

I have a few options that can make your like easier

1) small portable tape measure you keep right in your cavaletti bag

2) if you use the same space you can put painters tape markers on the floor, or on your yoga mats that you might roll up and put away. If you cavaletti outside, they make field spray paint that works well in grass/dirt

3) take one of your caveletti poles and turn it into a ruler, making only the spacing you might be using and then you always have it with you no matter where you go.

For me option 3 works best because I change my spacing often and switch between straight and curved. Option 1 works similar but I find it just slower than having my pole that’s marked

One of the worst things that can happen to our sport dogs is they suddenly come up lame or get injured. Does your dog have the skills to help you get a proper diagnoses or complete a rehab program?

My Canine Fitness Basics classroom teaches the fundamentals of canine fitness that all dogs should be able to do. Holding proper positions, executing basic position changes and basic leash walking for fitness skills.

Make sure you are not caught in a pickle if you suddenly need to rehab your dog and they don't have the skills. Already having the skills can aid in better, faster diagnosis, and faster recovery.

This classroom runs in a Facebook group, all the lessons are broken into various guides. This is an audit only classroom, you can ask any questions your have along that way :)
