Online LIVE lessons are done with ZOOM (VERY easy and I can talk you through it).
During a "Live Lesson" you get real time instruction to help with specific training and strength challenges. We will work together to choose effective exercises specific to your dog and your goals. This is very much like an "in person" lesson that you would drive to, only it is in the comfort of your own home, back yard, training space - where ever you can get the internet on your phone, tablet or computer.
If a live Zoom Lesson is NOT for you, I also offer evaluation and program design through video exchange.
What can I learn?
- How to pair exercises specific to your dogs needs
- How to choose exercises specific to your sport (I work with all sporting dogs - agility, dock diving, flyball, Schutzhund, etc)
- Effective equipment combinations
- Inflation of equipment and proper use
- Using platforms, stools, benches and other household items
- I don't want to hurt my dog, Am I doing it right???
- How to maximize exercises based on the equipment you have
- Real time work through training challenges specific to your dog
- Live demonstrations with me and my dog
What do you get?
Bobbie will review history, do a visual evaluation and design an exercise plan. You will get a write up of that plan, the recording of your lesson and real time help with training, posture and position of each exercises.
Lessons are 60min (I schedule 30 minutes between my lessons to allow for set up and connection issues, to take care of my dogs, and get your video uploaded and ready to send to you)
Time Between Lessons:
Sessions are usually scheduled once every 3-4 weeks (but can bet adjusted to more often or further apart depending on your needs) so that you have time to train the exercises or movement and complete the recommended repetition and sets. Repetition and loading the muscles is how muscle grows and improved muscles tone is gained.
NOTE: if your dog has an acute injury you will need to obtain a Veterinary release to participate in a progressive canine strength training. If your dog has a previous injury and has been released to normal activity, I am happy to work with you.
Bobbie is passionate about offering consistent and effective strength Training methods to all who are passionate about K9 Fitness.
