Purpose: This All-Fit Dog program will provide the student with the information and skills they need to manage their own dog’s unique and ever changing fitness needs {from puppy hood, as a young adult and a Senior} in order to improve overall health, prevent illness & injury and enhance the dog’s ability to recover when crisis happens.
Course Information: There are three measures of the ten elements of health, wellness / sickness and fitness; and there are three different models designed to address fitness requirements. The All-Fit Dog program uses a broad, general and inclusive fitness model to enhance overall elements of health using only functional movement exercises and activities as these are mechanically sound and safe for all dogs at all ages. The techniques which achieve optimal fitness in the elite canine athlete will enhance fitness in all dogs – the needs of each dog differ by degree not kind, so we scale exercise volume and intensity NOT requirements.
We begin the program with Anatomy and the 10 Elements of Health; identify the Essential Functional Attributes for dogs and discuss the consequences to overall health and well being when these fundamental structural traits are weak. Our evaluation is designed to reveal the strengths and weaknesses in structure which need either support or preservation. Gait assessment will show the connection between strength and how well the dog can use the body he has and the impact to fitness levels and overall health. Our exercise recommendations are designed to enhance Endurance, Strength, Flexibility and Body Awareness. The All-Fit Dog program dedicates two lessons to the unique needs of Puppies and Senior Dogs so the student will be able to make informed choices during these two ever-changing stages of life!
