WEBINAR: Architecture of Fitness

When we are trying to perform functional fitness exercises we need to consider all the things that can impact the overall success of these exercises. Some of these things we can change, and some we cannot. Equipment can form the foundations for your exercises. A correctly shaped foundation can have a huge impact on the building above it, as the equipment you use can impact the form of the dog. When we look at a dogs form, sometimes making modifications to the equipment can be an easy fix to improve form. Structure is like the framing of a building. The bones of your dog, and how they connect together form the basis for all the other parts of the 'building' to attach too. They also create the overall shape of your dog. Whilst we cannot change structure, having an understanding of structure will help you figure out if an issue in form is related to structure. Form is how well your dog performs an exercise. It's a combination of structure, understanding of an exercise, and how they use their body to move or hold themselves in a certain position. There are many things that we, as a handler, can do to improve a dog's form in a fitness exercise. In this webinar we will look at some specific things that you can do, as well as develop your eye for form. With having an understanding of equipment, structure, and form you can be the architect of your dog's fitness to create excellent form and functional fitness exercises that positively impact your dogs physical fitness.
