Wet Lab / Workshop: Introduction to Canine Fitness
In this laboratory, students will learn the importance of canine fitness. We will focus on all aspects including warm up and cool down, body awareness, strengthening and conditioning exercises, and mental stamina. Just as people benefit from regular exercise to maintain health and fitness, dogs should also get regular, focused exercise to protect against injury and maintain health and mobility.
