 JOANNE LANG MCMT ADVANCED EXERCISES
FOR YOUR CANINE ATHLETE
With Joanne Lang, MCMT
In this seminar we will expand on earlier seminars on
canine skeletal and muscular structure. We will learn more
about the different phases of exercise and how to get the
most out of the time spent preparing your canine for
competition. We will elaborate how to identify structural
weaknesses and strengths. We will also identify when your
dog is tired and weak should not be exercised to help
prevent injuries. We will continue your education on
correcting problems with your dog’s motion. You will also
learn many more exercises for improving your dog’s
structure, balance and performance that can be used at
home and with agility equipment.
In the last seminar we learned how to assess the structure
of your dog. The next seminar (September 2008) will
provide you with information on improving your dog’s
specific structure and performance. We will continue to
incorporate exercise equipment to stimulate your dog
mentally and physically. This will help your dog understand
and use its body in a more balanced way. This will reduce
potential injuries and improve your dog’s agility and
willingness to perform. Our goal is to keep your canine
athlete functioning at it’s best so you can participate in the
sports you both enjoy.
