🐾 **We're halfway through the outdoor competition season... so how is your dog's preparation really looking?**
By now, most of us have settled into the rhythm of training and competing, but this is often the point in the season where little weaknesses start to show. Fatigue creeps in, niggles appear, and performance can plateau if we're not careful.
So here's a question...
**Is your dog's preparation ticking all the boxes, or are you mainly just training your sport?**
A well-rounded canine athlete needs more than just practising agility, flyball, canicross, gundog work or whatever sport they compete or work in.
Think about your dog's weekly routine:
🐾 Strength work?
🐾 Cardiovascular fitness?
🐾 Balance and proprioception?
🐾 Mobility and flexibility?
🐾 Recovery days?
🐾 Sport-specific skills?
🐾 Warm-ups and cool-downs?
💬 **What's included in your dog's weekly fitness routine?**
What do you already prioritise, and if you're honest... **which area could do with a little more attention?**
I'd love to hear what everyone is doing to keep their dogs performing at their best for the rest of the season.👇
