Course Details
Unlock your dog’s full athletic potential with this focused workshop designed to build balanced strength and stability. In this session, we’ll target three key muscle groups — the shoulders, psoas, and core — that are essential for performance, injury prevention, and overall body control.
You’ll learn functional fitness exercises that improve posture, power, and coordination while keeping movements safe and effective for dogs of all sizes and skill levels. Whether your dog is a competitive athlete or an active companion, these techniques will help enhance endurance, jumping ability, and long-term soundness.
You’ll discover:
How to identify and engage the psoas safely
Targeted shoulder strengthening for better agility and support
Core exercises that stabilize and protect the spine
Proper form, progression, and safety tips for at-home practice
This workshop is perfect for handlers, trainers, and canine fitness enthusiasts who want to build a strong foundation from the inside out — minimal equipment needed and we can likely use what you have :) if you have questions, email me.
