Countries That Our Members Come From

As Much as 41.7% of Dogs2 Competing in Agility Are Forced to Take Week-Long Breaks Due to Injury. Yikes!

You and I both know that agility is an unpredictable sport.

As much as you’d like to, you cannot have everything under control at all times.

There are many potential
risks of injuries, such as:
  • Slippery surfaces.
  • Explosive acceleration and abrupt deceleration forces.
  • Possible equipment negotiations.
  • Late handler cues (hey, noone is perfect 😊).

I know how frustrating it feels when things don’t go as planned.

But that’s okay.

There are important steps you can take to minimize the risk of potential injury.

Properly warming up your dog is one such thing, and it’s 100% under your control.

Cooling them down after and helping them to relax is also important.

The best part is that not only will you greatly reduce the risk of potential injuries and boost regeneration, …

But you will also immediately improve their performance abilities!

Why Solely Walking or Playing with Your Dog Using a Toy is Not Enough to Prepare Them for High-Power Agility Actions?

Did you know that human sprinters who run the 100m thoroughly prepare and activate their muscles for over an hour before they start?

And all they have to do is run straight for less than 10 seconds!

Now, picture your dog completing a 22-obstacle course.

Don’t you get anxious, fearing they might get injured?

All those high-intensity sprints, jumps, weaves, turns, twists, accelerations, decelerations, and changes of direction.

It’s no wonder why they need a proper warm-up and cool-down routine.

A short walk alone won’t suffice.

Walking only warms up the large muscle groups in one plane of motion – forward.

But dogs need to twist and turn their bodies as well.

That’s why we have created our signature 3D warm-up and cool-down routine.

It is specifically designed for agility dogs.

You’ll learn how to activate the required muscles and perform movements in all planes of motion (including forward/backward, sideways, and rotational).

Just picture yourself with an inner sense of confidence and tranquility.

You’ll finally be able to focus solely on your dog’s performance.

And the best of all … 

You’ll have a peace of mind, knowing that you’ve done everything possible to ensure your dog’s safety on the agility field.

I am so excited for you to elevate your agility game!

Your dog will thank you for it!

Revolutionize Your Dog's Agility Training with
Our Signature 3D Routine with Active and Dynamic Exercises

Agility-Specific

Warm-Up/Cool-Down

Routine

By warming up your dog prior
to the activity you will:

  • Improve your dog's joint and muscle flexibility and range of motion by raising their temperature.
  • Enhance the flexibility of musculotendinous connections, which are commonly damaged areas in the musculoskeletal system.
  • Boost nerve impulse transmission and proprioception abilities, as joint position appreciation was found to be significantly more sensitive after warming up.
  • Enhance cardiovascular function by increasing heart rate, blood circulation, and blood flow to the tissues, which supplies them with oxygen and nutrients.
  • Encourage mental preparation and focus for both you and your dog by establishing a recognizable routine.

By cooling down your dog after
the activity you will:

  • Assist your dog in relaxing after a successful training or trial and flushing out lactic acid.
  • Speed up the recovery process and prevent muscle soreness the day after high-intensity activities that can cause quick muscular fatigue.
  • Reward and connect with your dog since ignoring them after a good job can be discouraging.

The Success Stories of Trainers and Competitors
Speak for Themselves:

This video is a perfect guidance for a proper warm-up and cool-down routine. I now know exactly what to take care of before and after each run in training or competition!

Lisa Frick – Austria
International dog trainer and handler – 4 times world champion, vice European champion

I love how clear and straightforward the exercises are. Previously, I was unsure about how to warm-up and cool-down when running multiple times a day at competitions or seminars, but now I have a plan, including the ideal length of a warm-up.

Jane Elene Christensen – Denmark

Now I can include it and help my dogs be even better prepared for running agility.

Lea Komat – Slovenia
Agility competitor and instructor, member of Slovenian national team since 2016

I love the warm-up and cool-down videos and all the amazing details those videos include! Not only because they teach you how to properly prepare the dog for activity and help you to prevent injuries, but also because they show the importance of not only warming up and cooling down itself, but also all the bonding and mental preparation that happens during those activities. Full package.

The 4-Part Game Plan for Your
Warm-Up and Cool-Down Routine

Here's exactly how you'll do it:

Step 1

Gradual increase in activity:

You will start with some simple walking and trotting.

Step 2

3D (three dimensional) progressive warm-up:

Inside, you will discover a set of 10 dynamic exercises that have been carefully selected to follow a specific order, number of repetitions, and rest intervals. This is designed to optimize recovery, and achieve maximum performance.

Step 3

Sport specific part:

You will learn how to mimic the actions your dog is about to perform during an event. Sport-specific actions typically involve explosive movements with fewer repetitions and shorter recovery periods between them.

Step 4

Gradual decrease in activity

You will finish with light walking and trotting and include mobility exercises for better flexibility and range of motion in the joints.

Does This Suit Me?

Yes!
 
You will receive the exact protocol you can use with your dog.
 
You will discover how to make this routine your own and adapt it to your dog’s needs if you feel it could benefit them.
The warm-up routine will take you approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
 
This will give you the freedom to prepare your dog’s cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems for the upcoming activity.
 
The precise timing of the routine also depends on external factors:
 
  • Is the weather warm or cold?
  • What kind of mood is your dog in?
  • Do you have any exercise preferences?
 
For example:
 
A dog who does not have a lot of mental stamina, and is unable to hold their focus for longer periods of time, might find it difficult to concentrate for 15 minutes straight. This might lead to a drop in motivation.
 
In such cases, you can adapt the warm-up routine by adding in some breaks. Doing so will help keep your dog’s motivation high.
 
You should also adapt the routine if the weather is warm and you need to keep your dog’s heat levels low. We will discuss all these adaptations in further detail inside the course.
You can do a majority of the warm-up exercises by having your dog on a leash. Thus you can perform them in a small (square meter or two) area next to the training/ competition venue.
 
Under ideal circumstances, it is best that you find a larger area/open space where you can perform some of the final sport-specific fast-motion exercises. Such as sprints, for example. I understand that sometimes you cannot find enough space to complete those final sport-specific exercises. Or you cannot find an area with a big enough non-slippery surface …
 
Do not worry, we discuss exactly how you can adapt your warm-up exercises in such cases. For the cool-down routine though, you can do everything by having your dog on a leash.
Under ideal circumstances, you shouldn’t use the exact same routine. You should adapt your warm-up routine to the needs of different dog sports.
 
The more physically demanding the upcoming activity is the longer the warm-up routine needs to be! A proper warm-up should include exercises that mimic the motions which will happen during the activity later on.
 
The warm-up routine also mentally prepares you and your dog. You should have your own unique warm-up routine to meet the specific physical needs of each dog sport.
 
This way you will also provide the best mental stimulation for the upcoming activity.
 
If your dog participates in dogfrisbee, flyball, or any other explosive type of sport, you can still join the course and learn all about warming up and cooling down your dog!
 
This knowledge will also enable you to change the presented routine to fit the needs of your own dog sport.

If your dog participates in Obedience though, you can take a look at our Warm-up / Cool-down routine for Obedience.

No, all you need is a dog, some yummy treats, and a toy if your dog loves to play.

All the exercises can be done without any equipment at all!

Yes. The program is made by Jana Gams, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. It is also recommended by other experts and backed up by science. 

Technical Questions

Yes! You keep lifetime access to the Warm-Up Cool-Down Agility course. That means you can restart it, refresh your knowledge and start with other dogs anytime in the future.
Yes. The access to the content platform is lifetime, and it is very easy to use and navigate.
