A very informative webinar from the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy. Very often what seems like a "training issue" can be something physical. Best to have your dog examined to rule out medical issue first. Check out this webinar to see what to look for!
We all know that medical issues can influence behavior. Dogs who don’t feel well can be cranky, or more anxious than normal – just like humans! But what about less obvious “red flags” for a physical problem that you might not be aware of? Join Jennifer Summerfield, DVM for her webinar, Medical vs. Behavioral: How do we tell the difference?
Date: Thursday, March 21, 2019
Time: 3 p.m. Pacific Time
Fee: $19.95 – Registration required PRIOR to scheduled presentation time.

Happy Fitness FriYaY! Fitness foundation exercises help to strengthen the postural muscles that aid a dog in everyday functions (transitions from a stand/sit/down, stairs, etc.) As dogs age they naturally lose muscle mass, but with a regular exercise maintenance program of just a few minutes per day using foundation you can help to stave off the progression of atrophy thus making it easier for your dog to move on slippery surfaces! That being said, we LOVE traction. If your dog is starting to have trouble, latex-backed throw rugs, yoga mats, Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips for Dogs, can help give your dog more confidence when walking in your home. Always perform exercise on a surface with traction!
Happy training!
Any dog or with cat with a mobility problem really struggles with slippery floors. My poor boy is no acception. He insists on laying on them anyway as he likes to be near us, but he can't get up easily. So we purchased more grippy vinyl flooring from www.floorsforpaws.com and thought we'd show you the difference! Its not as amazing as carpet for traction, but no other hard floor compares to this for grip in my opinion. Thanks floors4paws! Please also know, my poor was not forced to lay down for the sake of this video, this is his normal behaviour and free choice.

Understanding the science of training dogs is important. But, it is also important to be able to apply creativity as each dog in front of you will learn differently. As instructors we must be able to adapt to the learner in front of us. Apply the science in a way that will teach the learner best. 😀🐾
...it would appear that in dog training, there is a distinct divide between the ‘science’ of training vs the artistry of training.

As instructors we often hear the phrase, “but my dog does this exercise great at home!” It is super important to generalize your dog’s behaviors by “taking them on the road”. The more places you can train your dog the more solid your dog’s behaviors will become.

The Cognitive Canine, LLC
Happy Fitness FriYAY! The attached post by The Cognitive Canine, LLC addresses the importance of taking a break to address training/behavior issues. BUT, periodic breaks are also important in dog sports for conditioning. As a fitness trainer people will come to me for a consultation seeking advice on how to improve their dog's performance. Based on a thorough evaluation, my recommendation may be to take time off to properly condition their dog (6-8 weeks) and they will look at me like I have 3 heads! Believe me, I know this is not an easy decision, however their partner will be better, faster, and stronger for doing it.
On a general note, with indoor venues for agility, obedience, dock diving, barn hunt, etc., it is easy to trial year-round so there is no "off season" for competition dogs. Taking off 6-8 weeks consecutively every year to condition gives the dog (and you) a much needed mental break and the opportunity to concentrate on becoming a more well-rounded team!
Has a trainer ever told you to take a break? What was your reaction?

Often times we ask ourselves, “Is my dog in pain?”or “How do I know if my dog is in pain?”. This handy chart from is a great grading scale to help professionals and owners alike, determine if their dog is pain and how severe it is. Subtle signs such as posture, reactions and alertness towards their environment can say a lot.

We have talked about frustration in the past. Fenzi Dog Sports Academy's new blog has some great tips on handling frustration. This can also be applied to regular everyday training and not just performance events.
Dealing with disappointment in the heat of the moment is tough.
When you expect success and glory and are instead embarrassed, mortified, or otherwise upset it's a pretty human reaction to get upset, distressed, angry or uncomfortable.
There are a whole lot of techniques and tools that we can apply to the aftermath of such a stressful moment. In that exact moment, though, when you look at your canine partner and think "WHO ARE YOU?" or "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS" or whatever other negative thought stops your brain from functioning — well what can you do?

Back Up
Happy Fitness FriYAY! Why should I teach my dog to back up? • Improves balance & coordination - backward walking improves the functions of cerebellum which co-ordinates and balances the body movements. • Improves body awareness • Foundation exercise How do I teach my dog to back up? To teach this exercise I like to use props. I will create a chute which will limit the space in which the dog can travel. This can be up against the wall, the back of a couch, in between chairs or equipment, or utilizing an exercise (x-pen). I will place a very low target at the back of the chute. The target helps the dog to understand when its hind feet hit the target it has achieved its goal It also helps with body awareness as the dog has to raise its hind feet to get up onto the target. As the dog understands the exercise, the target can be moved back and raised slightly higher. This method teaches the dog how to utilize is body the way it needs to in order to perform the movement. Sometimes when they begin learning dogs will “hop” backwards. That can be corrected once the dog learns to move away from you through the process of shaping. When they are properly using their bodies, they will “step” backwards as if they are walking. You may see some performance dogs that have been trained with 2o2o contacts “reach” behind them with 1 or more rear leg in an exaggerated fashion. Although this is cute is not a desired behavior because it does not encourage independent symmetrical utilization of the hind limbs. Steps: 1) Invite the dog into the chute with a tasty treat. 2) The chute should be narrow enough that the dog cannot turn around, but not too narrow as to scare the dog. When beginning this exercise, if the dog is reluctant to come into the chute, either change props or make the chute wider. 3) Once the dog is in the chute, WAIT for the dog to back up. SAY NOTHING until the dog is at the back of the chute then say “YES” and toss a treat to the dog. 4) Repeat.

What motivates your dog? If food is the answer, using food puzzles to feed part of their meal is a wonderful way to build tolerance to frustration and for providing some much needed mental enrichment.

Happy Fitness FriYAY!!! This week’s #foundation exercise is the Spjn\Twirl. For fitness purposes this exercise moves the body in the dorsal plane and promotes spinal flexibly. Having strength and flexibility to bend is important for everyday tasks and it will keep dogs mobile as they age. It your dog competes in performance events flexibility is even more important to prevent injury. Note: we encourage teaching puppies this exercise however as they are growing beings it is imperative to protect their spines. Therefore, understanding the mechanics of the exercise is more important than how tight a circle they can turn. In addition, until growth plates are closed limit repetitions to protect the spine. Questions? Send us a message or comment below. Need assistance developing a fitness plan for your dog? We can help! #fitnessfriyay #dynamiccaninefitness #dynamiccaninetraining #caninefitness
Essential oil use in pets has been quite popular in the last few years. Applying them topically can be done in between the toe pads for absorption but only if it is a high quality oil that is deemed safe for use in pets. #Repost Essential Oil Vet - Janet Roark, DVM with @get_repost ・・・ My friend and fellow Panelist, Dr. Jeanette Yamamoto demonstrates how to apply diluted essential oils topically to your dog. Between the paw pads (if your dog is cooperative about handling their paws), on the ear tips and flaps, along the spine, and on the skin of the belly are all excellent ways to apply diluted therapeutic grade essential oils to your animals. *NOTE: the brand of essential oil you use DOES matter if you are applying them topically on your animals. Do NOT use store-bought or Amazon/ ebay purchased oils on your animals please!* #essentialoilvet
Benefits of Using Platforms
So funny story....Friday I posted a video on the benefits of using platforms. Somehow FB cutoff the video at 1 min. I did originally post the video on Instagram and shared it so I don't know if I messed up something there. I am not that tech savvy! I am reposting the entire video with copy for you. ENJOY! Happy Fitness FriYAY!! This week’s video talks about the benefits of using platforms in training foundation exercises for fitness. In summary a platform: a) gives the dog a defined space to work b) teaches body awareness c) increases balance d) promotes improved exercise form which helps to target and strengthen specific muscles Platform Examples: a) aerobic bench b) homemade wood c) insulation board d) Klimb Platform Specification Recommendations: a) Height: 2-4” b) Width: Slightly wider than your dog’s hips when dog performs a square sit. When first learning this exercise you may need to begin 3-4” wider and shrink the platform as the dog progresses. c) Length: Guideline 1.5-2 times the height of your dog at the withers (shoulders). Foundation exercises should be learned on stable surfaces before progressing to inflatable equipment. A platform allows the dog to be successful and learn the exercises with proper form. A significant amount of strength can be gained working on stable platforms with the right combination of repetitions and sets. A certified canine fitness trainer will know when your dog is ready to progress to the next challenge. #dynamiccaninetraining #fitnessfriyay #fitnessfriday #certifiedcaninefitnesstrainer #doover

Square Sit & Fold Down Foundation Exercises
Happy Fitness FriYAY! Today’s video focuses on two foundation exercises; the square sit and fold down. In the video I address why they are specifically important for puppies. However, these exercises are important for all dogs to know as a part of their foundation. The square sit and fold down help the dog to create and maintain specific postural muscles that it will use throughout its lifetime. Learning these exercises as puppies allows us to increase fitness challenges as the puppy grows, gains strength and capability (i.e. adding inclines/declines and instability equipment). Not to mention, all puppies should understand these exercises to be great family members and neighbors! TIP: If you are having difficulty getting your puppy into the down position, try having them crawl under your leg, or a chair for a cookie to start. Sometimes they need to understand that their elbows really do bend! If you have any questions write them in the comments or send us a DM. Happy training! #fitnessfriyay #dynamiccaninetraining #foundationrules

Tessa is playing a game called "Are U Listening." In this game I say a verbal cue only once. If she responds she gets rewarded. Here she guesses what the next cue is going to be as I begin to say a different cue. This is also a great way to test your dog's understanding of a cue. It can be very important for your dog to listen to the first cue given. Such as dog sports and more importantly a recall. #dynamiccannine #positivedogtraining #trickdog
