Common Signs of Fatigue

When dogs are tired, it’s harder for them to maintain proper form, and when they start to lose proper form they compensate which means we aren’t targeting the muscles we are trying to target. Always be aware of the signs of fatigue, especially in senior dogs, and stop the exercises when you notice the early signs. Remember, it’s easy for us to do the conditioning exercises because we aren’t the ones actually doing it – the dogs are working far harder than we are. Listen to your dog.
