I met with today for my first foundations class (into dog powered sports). My goal is to learn bikejorning with Miller! I know I must be crazy, but miller is young and he needs (wants so badly) to run (and run really, really far). We met halfway between Reno and Truckee, which was great since it allowed Miller to swim after class (his other favorite activity).
What I love about Lead Dog Athletics is the class was personalized to our skill level while focusing on stretching & mobility with warm up exercises and cool down exercises to help prevent injuries.
I’ve been in the world of dog sports (and all things dog training, behavior, nutrition, etc) for over 20 years and it wasn’t until meeting Lead Dog that I started hearing information about injury prevention using strength and mobility exercises.
I had a great time and I can’t wait for our class next week when I get on my bike!
