DIRECT FEEDBACK & LIVE EVENTS
Even better than just watching the course, you can have direct access to Dr. Laurie. By choosing the GOLD level, you will have the opportunity to submit your own short videos as you are working with your dog. Dr. Laurie will evaluate, give specific feedback, and give you the opportunity to ask questions. Only those students at the GOLD level will have real time access to the webinar at the end of each lesson.
BETTER STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, BALANCE, AND QUALITY OF LIFE
For nearly 24 years, Dr. Laurie has taught veterinary professionals, physical therapists, agility and sport dog competitors, and pet parents, how to get their dogs stronger, more flexible, balanced, and have a better quality life for longer. Now you can learn from all of those years of experience!
Over seven lessons Dr. Laurie takes a deep dive into 24 exercises, describing the how to, when to, why to, and what not to do. This is your chance to take your knowledge to the next level.
Learn the intricacies of each exercise, why I chose them for the geriatric course, and also how
they can be used for any dog
…THIS COURSE PROVIDES SO MUCH MORE CONTENT THAN JUST THE EXERCISES ALONE. IT’S INVALUABLE"

GOLD - FEATURE
For the most interactive learning experience, go for Gold. At this level, you will receive personal feedback and helpful hints during our bi-weekly live events and in the community. Have a question on an exercise? We can answer it. Want help with a case? We can talk about it. Not sure about what you are seeing? We can review it. We are here to support you as you take this journey. No worries if you miss the webinars, they are recorded and you can watch them later.

SILVER - OBSERVE
Follow along without posting the homework. We still recommend that you record your exercises, as this allows you to compare your videos to the Gold-level students. You can ask all your exercise-related questions in the community, and we will answer them either in the community or during the live webinars. You will have access to all of the recorded webinars. This is great for people who will want to take more than 2 weeks to watch each lesson to learn at the pace that suits you best.
BRONZE - PACE
Designed for those of you who don’t have the time to participate in more interactive sessions at the moment. At this level, students can follow the course at their own pace and practice the exercises when there’s time.
