In this Module we cover the following:<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

0:00<\/strong> – This is Theo!8:54<\/strong> – Injuries take their toll on sporting dogs in their golden years18:11<\/strong> – What do you see? – The Sit25:06<\/strong> – What do you see? – Example Dogs35:43<\/strong> – 1st and 4th appointment – Sometimes a dog is physically unable to perform an exercise.  Investigate before simply issuing a “correction”.<\/span><\/p>\n

39:27<\/strong> – Summary<\/span><\/p>\n

Taken from the recoding in the workshop above<\/h3>\n

This is The<\/strong>o<\/strong> – He is an awesome sport line Dobermann and is less than two years old in these photos.<\/p>\n

His owner, Tracy Michaud from our membership, generously submitted these photos after Theo completed and passed his BH (Competitive Obedience training for the Companion Dog Test) as an example of what concentrated sport training can do to our dog’s bodies at even a young age.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The circled areas highlight some of the the imbalances in the muscles brought about from sport training…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Below<\/strong> are the photos of Theo while Tracy has been busy with conditioning exercises to help correct the muscle imbalances.  She has performed an awesome job while continuing his sport, training, working and doing some targeted exercises in between life \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

His improvement is remarkable over approximately 2.5 months<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

We work through some the exercises you can use for imbalances in our Power and Precision Elite Strength Training Program where you discover the “What”, “Why” and “How” of various exercises and what to address when assessing your dog’s body.<\/p>\n

Here, you work at your own pace and include various exercises, a little at a time, into your sports training through designing a conditioning program that suits your lifestyle. <\/p>\n

In the end, I want your dog to compete and perform powerfully through targeted, effective conditioning exercises.<\/p>\n
