Physical Conditioning| Bobbie Lyons immersed herself in learning about core strengthening and body awareness for dogs after her own dog suffered injury. While on this path of discovery, she learned that many dogs have little to no hind end awareness, and that many owners do not understand the importance of proper conditioning, strengthening and stretching. Blessed with the desire and ability to pass her knowledge and skill on to others, Bobbie has taught competitors in Agility, Flyball, Dock Diving, Schutzhund, French Ring, Obedience, Rally, Disc Dog, and Freestyle, as well as people who just want fun things to do with their dog. She has worked with many different dog breeds, and with a range of physical challenges such as knee injuries, hip injuries, luxating patellas, hip dysplasia, and shoulder injuries. She is continually looking for new exercises to enhance a dog’s body awareness, as well as ways to increase the difficulty of strengthening exercises to keep the dog challenged and moving forward. She has been a competitor and instructor in the sport of canine agility for over 6 years and also offers classes on focus and self control. |
