General Information
This Newsletter is devoted to those individuals
that handle athletic or working dogs. I have spent a good part of
my life working with and taking care of performance dogs. I consider
what they do as a form of art. Dogs running, jumping, working or
moving in any way amazes me. I am attracted to it just like any art
or music lover is inspired by a picture or song. Because of this
passion I have been lucky to not only experience the thrill of working
with these dogs, but also to interact with some of the great owners, trainers,
and handlers of some of the greatest athletic and working dogs.
In this sense I would like to disseminate this information that I have
accumulated over the years to others that could benefit from my successes,
experiences, mistakes and even some of the failures.
The newsletter will have information that
applies to all active dogs and sections devoted to information that relates
to specific interests. There are some performance factors that apply
to any dog and there are some factors that only apply to certain activities.
Each issue will include information from at least two of the three main
areas of performance: Anatomy (musculoskeletal), Physiology (conditioning
and training), and Psychology (drive and behavior).
