Experience with IGP sports injuries and how it impacted me, my dog and my training.My dog was recently injured. My dog showed ZERO pain and after a 15 minute check, my vet came back saying that he could see nothing, could elicit no pain and could find no fault. After showing the vet exactly where to look, a specialised veterinarian reviewed the material. A grade 3 strain spotted. My trained eye knew exactly where they had to look and now I am on the road to a super recovery.
Workshops
How the demands of the sport have changed and how these changes have impacted training and the increased risk of injury. Pain indication for sport dogs is very different from that of sporting humans. Factors that increase the risk of muscle strains and the various grades of strains.
Workshops
The common injuries in the sport and how they occur along with signs of pain that dogs may show us. Know what your dog's current "normal" state is and how to determine handy bony landmarks that will guide you to further insights about your dog's body regarding potential injury.
Workshops
Assessing various positions your dogs find themselves in and what their bodies are telling us. Practical examples of what you are looking for in your own dogs. An example of a dog who trained for sport and his body changes are discussed along with an "after" photo of the effects of conditioning.
Workshops
Due to the high incidence of this muscle being injured in sport, I look at why this is so often the case. Discover what the muscle looks like, how it is used and how it is engaged in sports. Why it is so often injured - especially in puppies and young dogs.Discover the red flags to this injury along with landmarks that may misalign should your dog be experiencing discomfort in this area.
