PAW LAW DOG TRAINING PRESENTS A CORE TRAINING WORKSHOP WITH BARB SCALISE, NCTMB, LMT, CPDT- KA

Core strength is a fundamental element used by your dog to control its body when jumping, turning, running. Helping your dog develop strong core muscles can reduce and prevent injuries. This is true whether your dog is involved in dog sports, is a working dog, or just a couch potato with healthier aspirations.
Core conditioning is an essential part of any athlete’s training program, including the performance dog. If your dog participates in agility competitions, you'll want to make sure your dog is in prime physical condition. Once introduced to the different conditioning equipment (e.g., eggball, bosu ball, fit disk, etc.), your dog's body will automatically react to the shifting movement, causing your dog to use different muscle groups simultaneously in order to remain upright. Adding this strengthening activity to your dog's cross-training activities 3-4 times a week has many benefits, including:

  • Improved reaction and control
  • Increased trunk and core strength
  • Stabilization of weak areas
  • Improved balance and proprioception (awareness of the body's position in space)
  • Increased range of motion in joints and elongation of the muscles
  • Improved sensory and body awareness
