Improving Top Line with Core Stabilization

Weak spine stabilizing musculature can be the root cause fof top line issues including roaching, rolling, and tail set. It can also be the cause of decreased rear limb drive. Learn foundation core stabilization exercises that strengthen the postural musculature allowing the spine to return to its natural conformation.

Techniques to Improve Reach & Drive  

Many reach and drive limitations can be resolved by eccentrically strengthening the muscles of the caudal shoulder and cranial hip. These long strong muscles then have the ability to reach and drive with natural conformation. Learn how to strengthen these muscles eccentrically and then learn how to lengthen the muscles with stretches.

This seminar can be completed if you are actively showing your dog.
