Your Athletic Dog Streaming

Originally released back in 1995, Your Athletic Dog was a finalist for Best Video from the Dog Writers Association of America. This groundbreaking video was ahead of its time. Clothier went beyond the traditional structural approach to look at the role of functional movement as an aspect of athletic ability.

20 years later, the information in Your Athletic Dog remains accurate, timely and helpful to any serious handler interested in understanding their dog’s body and helping their canine athlete remain sound and active.
