Returning your dog to sports after injury??

Another great weekend... I love doing these CPDs, love seeing the dogs improve over the mini practical sessions over the 2 days, love seeing the smiles on the owners/therapists faces and proud moments.

🥳🥳🥳Introducing the Motor Control Sequence 🥳🥳🥳

This may explain why it takes some time for your dog to master your rehab or fitness exercises.
It also supports the methodology I use of practicing good form and getting those bombproof neuromuscular pathway established before we start working on sets and reps or increasing the challenge of the exercise where the body starts to adapt. Quality over quantity. Once the dogs knows the task we than then more clearly identify the signs of fatigue.
