**Click here for guest instructor bio
Date: Thursday, April 9th, 2026
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
We talk a lot about dogs as athletes. But what does that mean in daily training? What are you actually doing?
We’ll look at current sports medicine thinking, including improved resilience and confidence in working dogs, and break it down into something concrete and usable for you and your dog. This program has the science behind it… measured on real life working dogs at Penn Vet Working Dog Center, with significant physical and mental benefits as a result.
This webinar will introduce you to a small number of core exercises that have been shown to build strength, stability, and resilience without taking over your life. There are physical and mental benefits, based in working dog science, that make a difference. What’s not to love?
The beauty here is the simplicity.
All you need are a couple of inexpensive objects, a clear framework, and a plan you can plug into your current training… and you’ll be supporting the dog in front of you like the athlete they are. You’ll reap benefits in a variety of ways, some of which you may not have expected.
We’ll cover:
- The foundational movements that give you the most return
- What “strength” actually looks like in functional terms for a working dog.
- How to integrate these exercises into regular training without adding overwhelm
- Why doing a few things well often outperforms doing many things poorly
If you’re looking for a plan that reaps significant rewards with relatively little effort… this is for you.
Join Meghan Ramos, board-certified specialist in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (ACVSMR), Medical Director of the Penn Vet Working Dog Center and Assistant Professor in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation at Penn Vet Ryan Hospital to learn this clear, practical work that applies across sports and working applications… for real dogs and real people living real lives.

Crystal Wing - Unraveling Frustration: A Journey into Understanding High Drive Dogs
Date: Thursday, April 9th, 2026
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Join my dogs and me for an entertaining webinar where we delve into the world of high drive dogs and explore how embracing fascination can transform frustration into a rewarding and less frustrating relationship.
We all know the feeling of frustration when our dog’s actions don't seem to align with our expectations. Perhaps your high drive dog barks excessively, communicates through mouthing, or leaves you in pursuit of fascinating scents. In this webinar, we'll uncover some reasons behind their behavior and discover effective ways to lower both your frustration and your dog's.
By understanding the concepts of drive and arousal thresholds, as well as predation motor patterns, we gain invaluable insights into our dog's desires and motivations. Through relatable stories and experiences with high drive protection sport dogs, I’ll provide you with a fresh perspective, allowing you to see the world from their point of view.
Rather than perceiving their behavior as problematic, I encourage you to embrace fascination and interpret their actions as valuable information. By adopting this mindset, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes behind frustrating incidents and be empowered to address them effectively.
During the webinar, I'll challenge you to reflect on past moments of frustration with your dog and explore how the shared knowledge can be applied to those situations. By fostering a sense of humor and choosing fascination over frustration, you'll unlock a world of possibilities for nurturing a strong bond with your high drive dog.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical strategies for navigating the unique challenges posed by high drive dogs. Join us as we embark on a journey to transform frustration into fascination and forge a deeper connection with our remarkable dogs.
