Preparing for cavalettis
It is important to recognize signs of fatigue, even with the easiest exercises. Not only can we keep our workout sessions fun for our dogs, but also reduce risk of injury. Signs of fatigue may differ for different dogs, here are some common signs:
Excessive panting or drooling
Knocking over or kicking equipments
Being “sharky” when taking treats
Not willing to engage
Other common stress signals (e.g., scratching, sniffing, head shaking, checking out, barking)
Remember less is more. It is better to end the session sooner than later.
