May I ask if there is a time limit on the discount? I'm not in a position to join the program at the moment but I would love to in the future

I can't purchase the course, and it's leading me to a broken link. Has the address changed since then?

As a professional canine fitness trainer I cannot thank you enough for this episode! That topic is SO important and I am definitely going to share that episode with everyone I know that has a dog companion. (Well, I always talk about your podcast to others but anyways 😅) Thank you so much for all those great episodes - I love your podcast so much and am looking forward to many more episodes to come! Many greetings from Germany 💜

Both of my current dogs splay their back feet when sat, and I’d pointed it out to my local vet who didn’t see it as a problem. Thanks to this video, I now know there is something I can do with them to rectify it 😊

[@heidipoage5918]

I listened to this on the way to work and came to KZbin to check out the program. Thanks so much for the discount!

My dog is a healthy weight, she walks 5 mi every day, and she's 11 years old. And that's as much as I know about canine fitness until this podcast 😄. I'm sure there's something in this program that will be very valuable for us. Thank you!.🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

Hi, that’s sounds like something that can help my chocolate chunk ( Marley). When I rescued Marley he was 7 months old almost 8 and he had spent all that time in a kennel that was to small for him and very rarely let out of that kennel. When he first arrived to my home he couldn’t sit down without his back leg splitting apart. Now he sits, walks, run, but I feel Marley is t aware of his back legs. Like the perch work for example I am struggling making him move his behind. Thank you so much for this Susan, you’re the best

Are the exercises in Carolyn’s fitness course done via shaping or luring?

My dog has hip dysplasia. Are this exercises safe for him?

[@DogsThat]

Hi Ximena, for dogs with any condition or injury it's best to consult their veterinary or physical therapy professionals ❤️

[@anyadornak1508]

Thanks, this makes sense to me. Maybe in the future you could go over how to get weight off of a dog. I know by cutting calories, but is there a good program that you or others use.

[@qwertykotchka394]

Would you mind covering training the stand with duration in a bit more detail? I saw your video on getting your dog to stand from a lie down using a hand target and that works well but unless I continually feed he immediately sits. It's almost a year since I've been practising without improvement so if there's any possibility of you offering a few more tips on the process it would be massively appreciated. Thank you so much for organising the discount with Carolyn McIntyre’s program. I am sure it will help many people who want to help their dogs but have to consider financial implications.

[@DogsThat]

OK the building duration is all about your dogs understanding of their release cue. So my first question is how was your crate games? Does the dog understand to hold a sit position until released? And then can your dog hold a sit or a down until released? They are both much easier positions for the dog to hold before you give the release cue? And once the release cue is well understood then all that you do is; as soon as the dog gets in the stand position you mark it with a clicker or a word and then give your release word immediately before they have a chance to move. Gradually build that duration.

[@qwertykotchka394]

@@DogsThat Thank you. Of course, I forgot that I needed to use a release cue. I'm sure that will resolve the problem.
