The Course..

I ran the ' Introduction to K9 Fitness- Knowing your dog' seminar on 1st July, with one of my students. Becky Godridge, who is a fully qualified Canine Masseur.
This course covered a wide range of topics that are really important to ALL dog owners, not just dog owners that are involved in a working discipline. However all the people booked on this course were either Agility, Flyball or had dogs that already had problems.
Topics the course covered
Gait Analysis & Confirmation – understanding and knowing your dogs limits.
Basic Anatomy
Weight & Nutrition
Spotting when your dog isn’t 100% - recognizing issues before they become problems
Massage and Stretching
Warm up and Cool down – Fit for function
Muscle Building - Core strength and conditioning for performance.
We are defiantly doing more! :-D
You will have to keep your eyes peeled as Becky and I are currently discussing future dates and Venues throughout the UK over rest of this and next year.
The courses will be advertised on Webpages & Facebook, on various pages (links to the pages are posted at the end of this blog.) If you want to be on the e-mail list to be the 1st for updates of new dates, venues, e-mail me to you name to ..

Just some of the comments left in the feedback book, from some of people that attended the day. Names were not asked to be left as I didn’t want people to feel pressured into putting a good response.
Thanks for a very useful day, very thought provoking and lots of new ideas.

Very informative and I learnt a lot, Thank-you.

Really informative – Plenty to take away and think about before running my dog. Thank-you.

I enjoyed the whole day especially the ‘hands on’ and muscle building in the afternoon.

I learnt so much throughout the day. The gait analysis was well explained and there were different breeds to look at. Good/bad gaits were explained and gave me a much better understanding of what I should be looking for. The warm up, cool down, massage, stretching and muscle building were great. I have taken away so much and will be very useful to use on my injured/retired dogs too and well as my young and competing ones. Thankyou
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have so much to think about, lots of good ideas. I need to create a routine warm up and cool down to ensure I do it! Thank you for making me more aware.

Very informative day, has taught me many things and how much I can tell off my dogs gait. I need to make myself more familiar with it so that I can try my best to help prevent any problems, aswell as making sure I get used to how my dogs muscles and body feels. The story and info made me defiantly think. Thankyou.

So informative, the course was delivered in an interactive and fun manor as sometimes they can get boring. This didnt you both kept us all awake thinking and on out toes. :-)
