🐶 Puppies grow fast — but their bodies need time to catch up. From ball launchers to slippery floors, everyday habits can lead to joint and muscle injuries in young dogs.
💡 Growth plates are fragile. Muscles are still developing. What seems fun now could cause pain later.

🚀 Rest to Run: Why Recovery Matters for Canine Athletes
🗓️ Thursday 23rd October | 7pm | Free Online Live Talk

When it comes to canine athletes, everyone talks about training, conditioning, and drive — but few truly understand the science of recovery.

Join Anya Westland, canine rehabilitation and performance specialist, for an unmissable session that reveals how recovery is the hidden key to peak performance, injury prevention, and long-term soundness in sporting dogs.

Whether your dog competes in agility, flyball, hoopers, obedience, or canicross, this talk will show you how muscle fatigue, microtrauma, and poor recovery can quietly undermine performance — and what you can do about it.

Anya will share practical, evidence-informed techniques to help you:

Boost muscle repair and flexibility between training sessions

Reduce the risk of strains, trigger points, and compensatory injuries

Improve performance longevity and keep your dog feeling their best

Give your canine athlete the edge they deserve — it’s not just about how hard they train, but how well they recover.

🎟️ Free to attend as part of Canine Muscular Health Awareness Month, no need to book just join following the link which will be posted below (to be updated) we will also put a reminder out on the day :)

This is a pioneering initiative that is shining the light on muscular health issues in dogs - problems that are often overlooked, misunderstood, misinterpreted, or not fully recognised within the wider field of canine care.
