Expanded Description:
Dogs doing agility and other performance sports need to be treated as athletes. Stretching prepares the body for movement and helps make the transition from static inactivity to dynamic activity without strain. Stretching before and after a training session or a competition run will help with flexibility, thereby improving performance and aiding in the prevention of common injuries.
If the flexibility and strength that the dog requires to perform his sport is not present, injuries will occur. These injuries may not happen spontaneously, but rather develop over time. This process is why there are so many soft tissue problems in performance dogs. These problems can, however, be prevented or reduced with proper stretching, warm-up, and cool-down.

| The importance of Stretching, March 12, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Helen D |
| I just received this dvd,and 'WOW'. Debbie Gross Saunders does a wonderful job of fully explaining why performance dogs should be warmed up properly... and also cooled down. The video is packed with demonstrations of stretches for different areas of the dog's body and legs. The visuals are very good, and the verbalizations are clearly spoken. Debbie also shows some stretches for the human component of the team as well. I enjoyed this video very much, and will be playing it at my rally & obed practice sessions for students and practice partners to view. A definate '5 Paws' from me! |
