Just a couple of updates:
I'm off to New Jersey on Tuesday! Heading out to the STAAR Conference! I look forward to seeing some of you there!
Last weekend, my clinic hosted a course for our Canadian Animal Rehab Division... and you know, it's a lot of work to organize! So, if you're coming to STAAR- don't forget to thank not only your presenters, but the organizers, dog volunteers (owners), room monitors, vendors, and the various other folks that make things run. Most of time, the unsung heroes aren't the ones on the stage!
And as I write this, it's Easter Sunday! Happy Easter... I hope you all ate too much chocolate! Mmmmm! Chocolate!
I didn't want to cook or do a big Easter 'thing' this year (one son home, the other one claiming he needs to study) - so we're going out for dinner! This will be new for us! But it's my favourite restaurant! Yah!
Okay, that's what I've been up to!

But enough about me, onto your learning for the week...
BLOG:
Thicken Your Diaphragm!!!

You’ve got the balls, and balance equipment. You’ve got some blocks. You’ve got plans. And, you’ve heard that you should be training the dog’s core! Now when we think of core, most of our brains automatically go to the abdominal muscles. However, a recent research paper tells us that perhaps we should be acknowledging the effects of stability training on the diaphragm!

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!
I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies,
exercises, advisement, etc, etc!
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted,
because they direct you to the Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful! Go there... Check it out!!!

Have a great week everyone!
Until next time... Cheers!

P.S. Helpful Hints for NEW Members...
1. If you are new to FourLeg and happen to be having issues with watching the videos, you will
want to cut and paste the following URL into your browser bar:
Sometimes after people sign up on the secure page on FourLeg, their computer remembers the secure address for the
website (i.e. https:// etc), and it takes them to the site with THAT prefix. The rest of the site isn't 'secured, only the sign up page. So, the website thinks you are trying to watch a video from unauthorized site.
2. As a member, if you want to search a particular topic, then find the little white
search bar on the upper right hand corner of the page (after you log in as a member). Type in your search and be given a full listing of content related to your search words!
3. And, if you have any issues, check out WWW.FOURLEG.COM/Help to address any FAQs regarding the website or membership difficulties!
