Canine Fitness for Competition Obedience Workshop
We want our dogs to perform at their best – we want snappy, straight sits, fast recalls, and straight heeling. Did you know that when our dogs execute the behaviors that we want them to do in competition obedience they are engaging certain muscles, but not always the muscles that are most effective and efficient. Through time, our dogs can build certain muscles while other muscles engage less. This can lead to our dogs being unbalanced – creating skill problems and opening our dogs up for potential injuries. By understanding our dogs tendencies based on their physical assembly and learning some exercises, we can improve our dogs competition obedience performance and allow them to move efficiently and effectively.
Seminar Topics:
- Saturday AM: Physical assessment – a physical assessment will be done of each dog to help determine it's strengths and weaknesses
- Saturday PM: Foundation Exercises
- Sunday AM: Strength Building Exercises
- Sunday PM: Exercises specific to obedience positions
Barbara completed her CPCFT (Certified Professional Canine Fitness Trainer) with Dr. Debbie Torraca 2023 and her CSCC (Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach) with Bobbi Lyons. Barbara actively competes in competition obedience and agility with her dogs.
