Do you have a fitness program for your dog? It’s not something that is just for canine athletes and dog sports! Every dog will benefit from conditioning exercises for their health, well-being and longevity. A fitness program is also a fun way for you and your dog to spend time together and easy to start.
In the episode you'll hear:
• Why fitness for dogs should include more than walks or chasing a ball or frisbee.
• How dogs can have an imbalance in their body leading to injury.
• The importance of your dog’s weight and getting a fitness check.
• Why soundness is different to fitness.
• About making sure that your dog has age-appropriate fitness exercises.
• The four areas I focus on with my dog’s fitness program.
• Why your dog’s strength, flexibility, balance, and proprioception are all important.
• The reason we need to build up our dog’s big muscles first.
• Why to introduce an unstable surface gradually to your dog’s fitness routine.
• What you can do today with a sit, down or stand for your dog’s fitness without any equipment.
• How you can join the canine fitness program that I am doing with the Susan20 discount code.
