Learn the importance of warmups, cool downs, stretching, injury prevention, nutrition and more! Get your questions answered about rehabilitation fitness and exercise in working dogs. Includes workout booklet and printed notes! Lauryn will be bringing a dog to demonstrate the stretches/exercises. We will have a sound system so we can spread out on the field. Some easy-ups will be provided but bring your own chairs and feel free to bring your own easy-ups. We are so grateful to Lauryn for donating her expertise and time to help us raise money to rebuild our K9 obstacle course that we use for warmup before protection work. As many of you know, I Heart K9 had to move fields in 2023, and we lost our obstacle course. We have been using a makeshift obstacle course that includes many jumps that can cause repetitive injury in our canines. With Lauryn's help and suggestions, we are hoping to rebuild safer and balance-based obstacles. Please spread the word to all your dog friends!!! All are welcome!!!

Wilbur
Dogtor of Veterinary Medicine Dogtor Wilbur has been living and breathing rehab since he was just a pup. He spent months of his puppyhood with a splinted leg, then worked his way through physical rehabilitation to regain the strength and flexibility he had lost. These days, he strictly manages the CROC team, ensuring the high level of medical care our patients deserve. He frequently sacrifices his time and dignity to personally test all equipment, exercises, and treatments to make sure they meet his expectations for patient experience. His favorite part of rehab is meeting new patients that need a little confidence boost and helping them take on new challenges. In his free time, Dogtor Wilbur enjoys whipping human legs with his incessant tail wags, visiting the pet stores to get free cookies, and sunbathing. |
