I treat and train my dog as I was treated and trained the same way back in the day. I put my dogs on treadmill with weights\/ActoBands first thing in the morning. Then I do strength training in the evening. Does this seem like an ideal?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Question:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1. Should I implement warm-up and cool downs now with my puppy or should I wait until he is older?<\/p>\n 2. What would be the top suggestions for rear end and core exercise for a large dog still growing?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Questions:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Timestamp – Question asked<\/strong>0:00<\/strong> – Emersion in cold water to bring down body temp1:15<\/strong> – Time lapse between warm-up and training2:10<\/strong> – Evidence of injury in training, do you still cool down?3:22<\/strong> – Core strength and cardio on the same day in IGP?5:38<\/strong> – Recommended strength training exercises9:45<\/strong> – PDF file for exercises mentioned10:35<\/strong> – Are there exercises that I am missing12:03<\/strong> – Do you have a specific example of a proper warm-up?13:44<\/strong> – Is there a text book that describes exercises?15:40<\/strong> – Is tracking considered cardio?16:51<\/strong> – Long travelling and its impact on warm-up cool down and recovery<\/p>\n<\/p>\n To expand on the question of whether tracking is considered cardio:<\/em><\/p>\n Cardio and general fitness improves tracking. A fit dog has an “easier” time discerning scent work. Their olfactory nerves tend to “work” better than a dog that is unfit or out of condition. So while tracking may not be considered a cardio exercise in the traditional sense of the word, a fit dog has an easier tracking ability\/experience than an unconditioned\/fit dog.<\/p>\n To reiterate what is mentioned in the workshop:<\/strong><\/p>\n Dynamic strength training is for the more advanced\/fitter dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-8407","tva_lesson","type-tva_lesson","status-publish","hentry","tva_courses-the-k9-athlete-workshop","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"\nBelow is the slide showing the list of exercises mentioned in the Workshop:<\/h4>\n
