Exercise or Relaxation?
It is a common adage amongst dog trainers: “your dog doesn’t need more exercise, he needs to be trained to relax.” The fear being spread is that by providing more exercise we will create super athletes whose exercise needs are impossible to meet. But is there truth to that statement? Join Sarah and canine sports medicine veterinarian Dr Leslie Eide as they explore this question.
Leslie Eide DVM, CCRT practices north of Seattle WA and has a variety of canine conditioning and exercise programs available online. She can be found at www.thetotalcanine.com and at https://www.facebook.com/thetotalcanine

Choice vs Structure
You’ve heard you should give an anxious or otherwise dysregulated dog structure, but you;ve also heard you should give them choice and control. Aren’t these things in conflict? Which camp is right?
