Description
Fitness training for dogs is only useful when the dog’s anatomic condition, the current condition and the aim are considered. The author and the dog physiotherapist Sandra Rutz combines these three principles – form, function, fitness – and explains the connections between structure, movement, deficit and objective instead of only training single body parts.
The first part is about important training basics, main forms of physical tension and the main training focus. The practical part provides concrete tasks sorted by difficulty levels and body parts to train. The realization of each task is easily done thanks to step-to step instructions and a large number of photos.
The guide is a great help and perfect reference work for all dog physiotherapists and fitness trainer. It is also a great guide for dog owners who are interested in their dog’s fitness and who will find numerous exercises for everyday life.
