Location: The Scout Hut, Linney Road, Bramhall, Stockport

Have you heard about proprioception and wondered what all the fuss is about? Do you wish your dog had better balance? Do you think they are clumsy? Are they post-surgery and not quite got their normal gait back or are they a competition dog and not accurate? Do you have an ex-racing greyhound that has no idea what they are doing with their feet? Then this workshop is for you!

🐶How will it benefit my dog?🐶

Through using proprioceptive training we can teach our dogs to be more bodily aware which will:
🐾 improve their balance
🐾 increase flexibility
🐾 build their strength
🐾 boost motor skills.

This is important for all dogs, older dogs, youngsters, pet dogs, competition and working dogs they will all benefit from improved proprioception.

The proprioceptive system is responsible for many things in the body, it allows us and our dogs to be aware of where our body is in space without having to look at it. It is also important in many everyday movements, such as jumping onto the settee, but also the more complex movements , such as jumping over a jump. By influencing it through a variety of equipment, we can improve your dog’s co-ordination, balance, muscle strength, flexibility, self-confidence, focus, the bond between you and your dog and endurance.

This three hour workshop will be fun and informative. Equipment can be moved/altered for different dogs needs. Your dog needs to be physically fit and relaxed around other dogs and people to attend. If your dog would find this environment difficult, please contact Rachel to arrange a one-to-one consultation. Dogs shall remain on lead throughout this workshop.

Workshop will take place on Sunday 14th July, 10am to 1pm, and will cost £40.
