VIDEO! By Carolyn McIntryre, MScPT, Dipl. Canine Rehab
Why might a dog struggle with an exercise in the canine gym?
In this lecture, Carolyn will walk you through the 7 main factors that could be affecting a dog’s ability to complete an exercise in the canine gym:
• Behaviour
• Environment
• Health
• Training
• Owner mechanics
• Fatigue
• Equipment
Contrary to popular belief, it is often a combination of
multiple factors that can be impacting a dog’s training session, not just one.
