Do you want to

  • Reduce your dog's risk of injury?
  • Improve your dog's sport performance, allowing their true potential to shine?
  • Follow canine exercise principles based on science and research, taking out the guesswork?

Of course you do! Think about all the things we buy or do to help our dog be fit and healthy, from massages to therapeutic coats to working with a canine rehab specialist. And, those things are all awesome, but there is a simple, free strategy that many of us fail to implement in our routines with our performance dogs. It's not shiny, it's not trendy, and there aren't competitors flocking to seminars to learn about it. But it works and, in fact, it's vital to include in your performance dog's routine to ensure their longevity in sport and get the most out of the services and products you already use.

Here is it is... ready? Warming up your dog before their training or trialing. Top canine competitors consistently complete a warm-up routine that is sport-specific, uses three planes of motion, and follows research-based guidelines on the ideal number of sets, reps, and intensity. This book is your ultimate guide to understanding the research behind warming up and cooling down your dog and includes extensive descriptions (with photos) of easy to complete warm-up activities with little to no equipment required. Sample warm-up and cool down programs are also provided so that you can get started right away.

Edited by Dr. Matt Brunke of the Veterinary Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Group, this evidence-based book includes:

  • More than 15 sport-specific dynamic warm-up stretches
  •  A review of the research on warm-up and cool down guidelines
  • Two sample warm-up programs that put it all together for you so that you can start tomorrow!

So, are you ready to change your game?
