Presentation Topic: “Get That Booty Moving – Hind End Awareness in Dogs”
Hind end awareness is a commonly underdeveloped skill in dogs, even those active in sports. When dogs don’t know how to use their back half effectively, it can lead to imbalances and strain throughout the rest of the body.
In this interactive presentation, you’ll learn:
- What hind end awareness really means
- How it impacts a dog’s movement and overall health
- Practical ways to build strength and proper movement in the hind legs
