I am a qualified Moderator and External Assessor, and I have been involved with athletes and competitors in human power sports (weightlifting, powerlifting, and bodybuilding) for most of my life.<\/p>\n<p>As a Certified Canine Athlete Specialist, Trainer\/Advisor (CCAS), Certified Canine Myofascial Release Practitioner (CMFR) and a Professional Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, you and your dog could not be in better hands.<\/p>\n<p>My speciality lies with sporting and working dogs \u2013 in particular, those dogs engaged in impact and protection sports, making me uniquely qualified to help you. I understand the rigors of the sport and the dogs involved in it and how it affects their body.<\/p>\n<p>When consulting a fitness specialist for a sporting dog, it is always important to <strong>speak with someone who knows and understands the demands of your dog&#8217;s sport<\/strong>. &nbsp;Doing exercises that do not complement or promote your dog&#8217;s sport will produce counterproductive results in your sport.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Enjoying the Workshop?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Are you enjoying our style of learning?
