Human sprinters on 100 m thoroughly prepare and activate their muscles for more than an hour before they start.
And all they have to do is run straight for a world record of 9,58 seconds!
Now imagine an agility dog clearing a course of 22 obstacles after only a short walk to wee, and briefly playing with a toy!
In agility, the dog sprints, weaves, jumps, turns and twists, changes directions, accelerates and decelerates, and we simply cannot properly prepare the body for these high-power actions by only walking the dog.
The warm-up not only prepares the whole body system: nervous system, cardiovascular system, metabolism, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, it also leads to an immediate improvement in performance, and helps reduce the risk of injury.
And when you have successfully finished your run or your training, don’t call it quits just yet! Not only it is very discouraging for the dog to be put away and ignored after a good job, a cool-down certainly serves to accelerate the recovery process, and helps the dog to relax and settle down.
Such as slippery surfaces, explosive acceleration and abrupt deceleration forces, as well as possible equipment negotiations and late handler cues that arise when things don’t go as planned. Most often damaged areas include the shoulder region, toes, gastrocnemius and iliopsoas muscle.
»Must-know for each competitor! Such an important topic to prevent injuries and get the best possible performance of each agility dog!«
»I like that the exercises are clear and simple. It’s great to get things more into a system, knowing how much and when to do each exercise. Before I was always unsure about how to warm up and cool down when running multiple runs a day at a competition or a seminar. Now I have a plan as I now have an idea about how long the perfect warmup should last.«
»This is the best warm up/cool down resource I have come across. It gives a clear programme for both warming up, cooling down, and post event stretches. It goes into great detail and explains every move and its reason behind it. I would highly recommend«
“The tips are practical, well explained, and the videos provide close up detail on exactly how to perform the exercises. Since using this info, I notice better recovery in my dogs from training sessions, and I feel better too knowing I am doing my best for them!”

You’re curious and want to learn more about how you can check your canine athlete at home on a regular basis, to get first insights into your dog’s body
Over the years in my profession, I have worked with countless canine athletes on a daily basis.
With active participants in the Agility World Championship, European Open, FMBB, B.A.C.K., BCC, WAO, SAO and other big international events…you name it.
But not only have I worked with canine athletes as a rehab practitioner but also as a trainer myself. I have been an active trainer and competitor in several dog sports with my own dogs for the past 18 years!
All of this has helped me better understand their needs and just how much further you can take them if they are well mentally prepared and in excellent physical shape (and no, by physical shape I’m not only referring to stamina).
I promise you that I have gathered all my personal experience and knowledge in this course to help you discover how to properly warm up your canine athlete before every dog training session and competition, and cool down after. You’ll take their performance to new heights and reduce the risk for injuries at the same time.
You will gain new knowledge that will set you apart from the competition, and your dog will thrive by having built the correct foundations.
So far, I’ve been able to help far more than 2000 participants (from 6 different continents all around the globe) that enrolled in one or more of our courses inside our Dogs4motion online Academy.
Get started on your dogs today because I know you can take things to the next level!

Learn how to check your canine athlete at home on a regular basis, to get first insights into your dog’s body and detect any areas of discomfort, before they turn into visible compensatory issues.
Working with canine athletes on a daily basis, not only with my own dogs, but also during my work in canine rehabilitation and physical therapy, has taught me that you, the owner, play the most important role in recognizing potential discomforts in your dog’s body early on.
This is why this step-by-step guide on how to check the range of motion in your dog at home will allow you to seek the help of an ortho or physio professional if/when needed in a timely manner, and therefore tremendously contribute to your dog’s physical wellbeing and performing abilities in the long-term.
