Course Details
Evaluating your dog’s structure sounds complicated and often overwhelming. This workshop makes it easy and accessible. In this workshop, we are looking at structure as it relates to function. Not to your breed standard. The two are not always the same. For performance sports, we will look at how your dog’s structure impacts their ability to train and compete in their respective sport(s). The majority of injuries I see in performance dogs occur as a result of a weakness in structure. Strengthening those areas can prevent injury, improve your dog’s performance and lengthen their careers. You will learn how to evaluate your dog’s structure for function and determine what exercise(s) are most beneficial for your dog. This is part one of a two part series. Each part can be taken individually.
