Get on the Ball Two

Improve Your Dog’s Core Strength, Balance, Flexibility, and Endurance
by Dr. Debbie Gross Saunders

Whether you’re asking your dog to compete in an agility event, learn canine freestyle, or just jump off the couch to go for a walk, help your dog to get on the ball! Many dogs lack strength in the core muscle group, which consists of the lower back and abdominals. These areas are prone to strain in performance dogs, and, often, older dogs with weak core muscles have problems with fragile hind ends and lower backs. Working your dog on an Egg Ball has many benefits, including:

• Increased trunk and core strength
• Improved balance and body awareness
• Increased range of motion and flexibility 
• Improved reflexes
• Increased muscle tone and endurance

This DVD provides four easy-to-follow programs using the Egg Ball, including puppy, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. In addition to detailed demonstrations, the DVD features a seminar that Dr. Saunders held for ball-work novices so that you can learn from common mistakes.
