Description
The Canine Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCC) Online Lecture Course will teach you how to perform a canine fitness assessment, the foundation skills needed to complete most exercises while also understanding exercise variables, functional movement, when to use stable equipment or when to add a balance challenge.
Exercise physiology will be covered in a way to help you understand what muscles are likely challenged during each exercise based on the joint action, weight distribution, and posture.  Training techniques will be covered along with how the handler’s posture, proximity to the dog and reward position affects weight shifting and posture in the dog. Students will learn how weight shifting affects all exercises and will understand how to target the desired muscle groups with each movement.   These key concepts will help you understand how to turn foundation movements into exercises, how to increase the challenge of each exercise and when to go back to basics if needed.
(CSCC) Online Lecture Course I will provide students with the necessary foundation to attend the programs lab session, CSCC II.
(ONLINE LECTURE ONLY must be completed prior to attending labs)
