detraining of a sport dog & reintroduction to training after off-season
Recording of the webinar „detraining of a sport dog & reintroduction to training after off-season„

keeping a dog in peak physical condition
It’s widely known that keeping a dog in peak physical condition throughout the entire year is not feasible. We believe that organizing activities in cycles, including a proper detraining phase (recovery phase), allows dogs to enjoy a longer and healthier sports career. Implementing a recovery break can be challenging, and poor planning may lead to injuries when returning to sport.
detraining protocol for sporting dogs
Over the past several years, we’ve been implementing different protocols for the recovery phase and the return to activity afterwards, and that’s exactly what I would like to share with you.
two perspectives
The content will be covered from two perspectives: the dog handler’s perspective (what we can do independently) and the physiotherapist’s perspective (what should be assessed, checked, and recommended for our patients).
