DESCRIPTION: Ready to create a canine ninja?

Learning Objectives:
Explain how progressive exercise can strengthen muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments to improve performance and reduce injury risk.
Design appropriate exercise progressions that safely advance a strong, well-conditioned dog from foundational exercises to higher-level challenges.
