STRUCTURE IN ACTION is a one-day workshop with a recently updated and expanded PowerPoint Presentation. It combines Pat Hastings’ Puppy Puzzle Presentation, as well as Hastings’ discussion of the value of structurally evaluating adult dogs that are being considered for a breeding program, working trials or performance competition. Dr. Linda S. Rogers of Integrative Animal Health Center in Bolton, MA will be available to share her perspective during question and answer segments. Dogs will do most anything we ask of them. The question is: Do we want to ask them to do things that they are structurally incapable of doing? The more we learn about canine structure, the more we understand what is reasonable to ask given their physical strengths and weaknesses. AGENDA: – How to evaluate the structural quality of puppies — one litter of puppies needed. Must be born between July 26 and August 9. If selected by Ms. Hastings, you will receive FREE seminar. Contact Event Coordinator if you would like your litter considered. – The basics of canine structure – The weakest links – How to evaluate the structural quality of your adult dog – What your dog can and should not do given structure – Dr. Rogers’ ideas on how to strengthen structure and reduce the risk of injury – Questions and hands-on work with about 10 selected dogs that have had issues. If you want your dog considered, include the requested information on the registration form. “First come/first served” in this area—you will be notified at least a week before the seminar if your dog is selected.
