E460: Kelly Daniel and Ashley Escobar - "The Mental Benefits of Canine Fitness for Sports Dogs"

Kelly and Ashley join me in this episode to discuss why canine fitness is sometimes overlooked by dog sports teams, how it can help dogs with impulse control, arousal modulation, and emotional fitness, and the difference between quality movement and a dog who is just active in their environment in a less intentional way.
