TWO LEVELS of STRENGTH & CONDITIONING for PERFORMANCE DOGS SEMINARS

with LEE CARR DVM, VMST, CSCC, CMT
Sunday, March 8, 2026

Dr. Lee Carr graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1984. She has practiced clinical veterinary medicine for 41 years. Dr. Carr has been a veterinary chiropractor since 2011. She earned her CSCC, Canine Strength and Conditioning Certificate in 2024. Dr. Carr recently added Massage certification to her list of skills. “I love teaching dogs and their humans’ new skills.”

Training in only one dog sport leads to fit muscles only required for that activity. For a fully balanced dog, you must train the body as a whole. Canine conditioning offers benefits including physical improvements like increased strength, balance, and endurance; injury prevention by strengthening muscles and supporting joints; mental stimulation through engaging exercises; behavioral benefits such as increased confidence and reduced boredom; and a stronger bond between dog and owner.

The morning seminar will present the foundations of a general fitness program. The emphasis will be placed on good form. The program presented will allow teams to progress on their own.

The afternoon seminar will focus on advanced exercises. To continue these exercises at home, you will need to have some fitness equipment. FitBones, Propel cushions, Klimb tables and Cato equipment will be used to demonstrate these exercises. Your dog will need to be comfortable working on unstable surfaces.

Dogs need to be at least one year of age. All dogs must be injury free for a minimum of four months. Targeting skills are helpful but not required. Dogs must be able to work in close proximity to other dogs.
