    CC470: Beyond The Peanut: PLATFORMS For Fitness

     

    Course Details

    Who needs a peanut? A platform (or 2) is all you need for this fitness class! There are more exercises than you thought imaginable, 20 in total. Learn great exercises for every dog whether you are looking to improve your ring presence in conformation, increase body awareness and strength for your agility dog, get crisp position transitions in obedience or looking to introduce a new, fun activity.

    Prerequisites and Equipment

    Set Up - Ideally you have 1 to 2 platforms that are an appropriate size for your dog. I prefer that the platform is stable, but you can introduce some unstable platforms as the class progresses. There are many commercially available platforms, but you can also make your own. You can be creative. The smaller the dog, the smaller the platform should be. Your dog should be able to stand in a normal stacked position on the platform and the platform should be not be more than a couple inches wider than your dog. Examples of different set ups will be included in the class.
