A growing collection of practical, research-informed tools designed to support canine athletes and the people who care for them — and like any good training plan, it’s built on curiosity, evidence, and iteration.

Our goal is to share practical, research-informed tools that support canine athletes and the people who care for them. We’re not here to sell a method—we’re here to ask better questions, look at what the science says, and translate it into everyday action.

Featured Resource:

Stretch, Don’t Snap Toolkit
A printable guide to help you train at the edge of your ability — without tipping into overwhelm. Includes mindset prompts, challenge adjustment strategies, and a self-check framework to keep your sessions grounded and growth-focused.

What’s in the works:

We’re actively building this section to include:

• Research summaries that highlight what we know (and what we don’t)

• Printable tools to support reflection, planning, and progress tracking

• Movement insights from biomechanics and motor learning to guide smarter training choices

Curated External Resources:

The field of canine sport science is evolving—and so is this section. While we continue building new tools and content, here are a few trusted sources we recommend exploring:

• Dr. Chris Zink – Canine Sports Medicine
  A leading voice in the field, Dr. Zink shares evidence-based insights on performance, injury prevention, and functional movement for canine athletes.

• Canine Sport Science Consortium
  A collaborative community of researchers, clinicians, and trainers advancing best practices in canine sports. (I’m proud to be working with this group!)
