Ep10: INJURY Prevention for Dog Agility

McCann Dogs Agility - After Class Podcast

The dog sport of Agility is amazing……you know what else is amazing? How athletic, nimble and daring our dogs are! This is something that we all need to think about & appreciate. What we ask of our dogs in Agility and how willing they are to go above & beyond is truly remarkable.

Sadly though, injures are happening more frequently in the sport. Injuries can be caused by many things and can happen in all levels & organizations of Agility. Kayl & Jamie both train & compete at the International level. They've noticed that over the years, courses have become more challenging, the dogs are getting faster, handlers are training more intensely and without awareness of injury, this all raises the possibility of our dogs having a shortened career.

In this episode, Kayl & Jamie talk about the personal experience they’ve had with their own dogs being injured, signs to look for to know your dog could have an issue, and prevention ideas that will be great to hear, regardless of your experience with the sport.

Our dogs safety comes first, always!

We hope you enjoy this podcast and take even 1 thing away from it that could help your own dog or another 4 legged family member that you love!
