Conditioning for Canine AthletesHost Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Ashley Nixon to discuss conditioning our canine athletes, whether for the show ring, dock diving, agility and more."Cardio's good for everybody," Nixon said, "but I think it's really important to consider the sport you're doing and what you're asking your dog to do. They can be cardiovascularly fit, but maybe they don't have the propulsion to do some dock diving or agility, right? So I think it's super important to kind of keep that in mind and not just say, hey, I walk my dog, we go for a run, we're fit, we're good."I like a ton of stuff you can actually do at home with basic equipment (for conditioning work). You can have them do some push-ups on an unstable surface, like a little exercise ball. You can have them pivot. It's great. Front end up, back end up. I love sit to stands for these guys and you can do a ton of different variations. You can have them do it on a mattress, Fit Bones are great. Cavalettis are great for these guys. You can especially pick up some changes in their gait or change their gait."(Cavalettis) are super versatile and if you want some flexion, you can have serpentines over the cavalettis and arrange them in, you know, semi circles, get some nice spinal flexion. Like that."Listen to the full episode for more from:Dr Ashley Nixon DVM, CVA, CVMRT, CVSMT, FCOAC, CAMP, CSCCChief of StaffDr. Ashley Nixon knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was just 3 years old.

Many deer hunters and the public at large are unaware of the critical work university affiliated state and regional wildlife health organizations do for the betterment of wildlife and human health. Deer are no exception, and in many cases, they dominate the workload due to their abundance, impact on broad wildlife conservation, and popularity. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lisa Murphy, a veterinarian, professor of toxicology, and the leader of the Pennsylvania Wildlife Futures Program at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Murphy explains the importance of wildlife health programs while detailing some of the specific work she oversees, ranging from the day-to-day rigors of regional wildlife health technicians to CWD sampling at the laboratory, to leading critical research for deer and other wildlife species. NDA has enjoyed a rich partnership with the Pennsylvania Wildlife Futures Program and others like it around the country, and even long-time members may be unaware of how many unique projects the organization works on that have broad implications for deer, hunting, and habitat. This episode illustrates one of the many ways NDA works with key partners to accomplish important science-based outcomes for deer and other wildlife.

A few years after closing his practice, Dr. Jerry Kennedy started Black Sheep DC (now Rocket Chiro). His original goal was to create a resource for new chiropractors. His journey from ignorant new graduate to competent chiropractor was a rough one. It was expensive too.

Basically, he wanted to go back in time and help 24-year-old Jerry.Over the years, Dr. Jerry has added more services for chiropractors. Honestly, he feels he should have done it sooner, but says he was pretty slow to adapt. Now Rocket Chiro offers websites, SEO, reputation management, and online advertising services for chiropractors along with affordable, practical business and marketing trainings.
