RVT Highlight - Laurel Dutrisac, RVT, CCRP
October is RVT month, We kick it off with an Interview with our very own Laurel!
WHAT IS GOOD FORM, AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
The way in which our dogs (and us) perform specific movements throughout life are all impacted by our form. Good form refers to dogs being able to move and use their bodies in the most efficient ways possible, reducing the risk of injury. to their joints and surrounding soft tissue structures either acutely or over time.
YES, just like us your dog should have proper posture. If they do not, then every exercise they do moving forward could be setting your dog up for injury, disuse and compensations.
Just as important as posture, how does your dog transition their movement? These transitions may be affected by poor posture. These transitions include how they sit and how they lay down.
What will we be working on during this workshop?
evaluating your dogs posture
learning how to correct your dogs posture
evaluating your dogs transition to sit and then to stand
evaluating your dogs down and then stand
FUN exercises to build postural muscles and strengthen transitions
This workshop is good for puppies, adults and senior… we all could use posture correction, before it leads to pain.
We will have working spots (where you can bring your dog) and watching spots (where you can come and learn but leave your dog at home)
WORKING SPOTS - 10 (COST - $75)
WATCHING SPOTS - 10 (COST - $40)
