How to Prepare Your Dog for Nationals

I work on my dogs routinely at least once a week, but bleeding closer twice because I want to be sure that if anything is brewing, I pick it up immediately so I can resolve it. Be mindful of what you're doing with the dog and give yourself an extra day or two just so your dog can kind of recover from the trip itself. So when I hike her off leash, 99.9% of the time she ends up sore. If you do have a rehab person or a massage person that is accessible, some people don't in certain parts of the country; go to them ahead of time.
