A closer look.
Strength and conditioning can be discussed for different activities and ambitions. A dog’s age, fitness, movement, veterinary history and daily routine all contribute to assessment; breed or job title alone cannot set an appropriate programme.
The conversation also includes comfort, confidence, rest and the practicalities of following a plan. Goals should be understandable and reviewed as the dog’s needs or activities change, with wellbeing remaining part of the discussion.
Questions to take into a conversation.
- What information do you need about our dog’s activities?
- How will goals reflect their current health and movement?
- How will rest, confidence and changing needs be considered?
A Huxley explanation, in time.
