🏆 Healthy, Strong Dogs Are the Dogs That Win

If you want to better understand your dog’s movement, support their strength and comfort, and help them perform at their best, this upcoming class is one you will not want to miss.

Join Joanne Lang, Canine Fitness and Massage Practitioner, for Movement & Massage at Canine Learning Center in Fort Collins.

This class is designed to help you learn practical exercises and techniques that support your dog’s strength, comfort, body awareness, and performance — whether your dog is active in the show ring, performance events, or simply a beloved companion.

🐾 What you’ll learn:
• Simple exercises with minimal equipment
• How to recognize discomfort and fatigue
• How to support your dog on a higher level

Here is what one client had to say about Joanne:

“I cannot recommend Joanne Lange highly enough. Her ability to identify subtle issues in a dog's movement is truly remarkable. She has an exceptional eye for pinpointing exactly what is affecting a dog's performance, and just as importantly, she takes the time to explain the problem clearly so owners understand what is happening.

Her individualized exercises and treatment plans have made a significant difference in the mobility, strength, and overall performance of my dogs. The improvements are not only visible but can make all the difference for dogs striving to reach their full potential in the show ring.

The greatest testament I can give is that Joanne has worked on all 13 of my Best in Show/Reserve BIS winners for over 30 years. Her expertise, knowledge, and dedication have been an invaluable part of their success. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants to improve their dog's movement, comfort, and performance.”

🐾 Understanding the Psoas
Psoas maintenance for maximum performance

Could a hidden area of discomfort be affecting the way your dog moves?

The psoas (iliopsoas) plays an important role in your dog’s movement, comfort, and performance. When this area is tight, strained, or overworked, it can affect everything from stride and flexibility to strength and overall ease of movement.

At our upcoming June 28 session, Joanne Lang will cover this important topic as part of:

A Simple Exercise Program for Your Dog

This class will help you better understand:

🐕 Where the psoas is and why it matters
🐕 Signs of tightness or strain
🐕 Warm-ups and core work that support better movement
🐕 Simple bodywork tips
🐕 How to recognize clues your dog may be compensating

This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to better understand their dog’s body — whether you have a canine athlete or a well-loved companion dog.
