The best way to compliment your dogs training is to address the hard working muscular system which is often the first place the body will accrue stress, tightness, fatigue and injury that can inhibit normal performance.
Learn how to look after your dogs muscular system so they can have a long, safe career in their sport. By the end of the day you will have the skills and knowledge to help your dog’s body get ready for exercise and help them to cool, and calm, down afterwards.
When you book please let me know a little about your dog such as health concerns, special requirements and if they are sport or working dog. I like to know a little about who we will be working with on the day.
The workshop runs from 9.30am to 4.30pm.
There will be breaks throughout the day for your dog to stretch their legs. Don’t worry, your dog is not expected to lie still all day. We will work with wriggling dogs with adaptations and tips on how to work with your dog.
In this fascinating and information packed 1 day workshop you will learn how to:
- Apply a Full Pre Event Full Body Massage to enhance your dogs performance, improve Range of Motion (ROM) and reduce the likelihood of injury and fatigue
- Apply a Full Post Event Cool Down Massage to help move the metabolic by products of exercise through the system to reduce stiffness and Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
- Understand how muscle works and develop more awareness of what is happening underneath their skin.
- Spot when a training problem may be a physical problem
I show you how to help reduce the likelihood of injury to your dogs muscles, improve their focus, speed and accuracy, and prepare them to give their optimal performance each and every time.
You will be working with your dog under my guidance to ensure you are confident and able to perform these professional massage techniques at safely and correctly so you can benefit your dogs health for years to come.
Dogs
You must bring a dog with you for you to work with on the workshop.
Don’t worry, dogs are not
expected to instantly settle and remain still for the whole day. We will discuss setting up the environment and adaptions. They don’t have to lie flat at all times to massage, we will work with them.
I can work with dogs who don’t like to get too close to others so if your dog has any particular requirements please let me know and we can work together to make the day comfortable and safe for you both. However do consider that there will be other dogs in the room and space is limited to the size of the hall. I want for you to have a relaxing and enjoyable day and so if you dog is not comfortable in a group environment you may be better attending one of my online courses to learn in the comfort of your own home (the content is the same).
All dogs must be kept under close control and on a lead for the safety and enjoyment of all participants.
Full details of what to bring and the location will be provided after booking (don’t worry, it doesn’t require anything you won’t have at home).
