We had a great time at JAG Jersey Agility Group's AKC agility trial on Saturday. Very grateful to the trial committee for having me, and thank you everyone who dedicated time and effort to make this event possible.

Trigger point massage for the New England Block Party is open for pre-booking!

I understand that walk/run schedules can be unpredictable, which is why pre-booking is the best way to make sure your canine athlete gets the "tune-up" they deserve. Once you are on the schedule, we can move things around to accommodate your schedule, or swap session times with your friends/other exhibitors.

No deposit is required for pre-booking, so what do you have to lose?

For those who have purchased BIG EVENTS SPECIALS packages, they are applicable at this event. You should have received an email regarding your remaining sessions.

As always, please let me know if you have questions. Email is the best way to reach me: [email protected]

I am looking forward to supporting you and your canine athletes! See you soon!!

⭐ Upcoming canine bodywork clinics in New England! 🐶

🗓: August 22 (Friday)
📍: Wizard of Paws, Colchester CT

🗓: August 23 (Saturday)
📍: New England K9 Athlete, Hanover MA

Clinics are by appointment only!

🔸 Go to www.corepawtential.com
🔹 Click Events -> Clinics
🔸 Choose your preferred location, date, and time

❗Please note cancellation policy facility fees for clinics❗

With so many big events in the summer, it is essential to invest in our canine partners' wellness. Clinics are great to get your pups a tune-up to identify and address issues from acute trauma, overuse, and/or compensation from daily activities and performance/work demands. More importantly, clinics allow us a designated time and space so we can focus 110% on your canine partners, without the stress/over-stimulation at a show.

We are getting ready for a 3-day weekend in the New England area!

🔹 July 11: Clinic at Wizard of Paws | limited spots still available!
🔸 July 12: Mudi Club's ISC trial | pre-booking is open and on-site sign up will be available
🔹 July 13: Clinic at New England K9 Athlete | FULL!

While dog show appointments have the convenience of getting bodywork done at a trial, clinics have the benefits of a relatively stress-free environment for both the dog and the handler.

As we ramp up our activities during the summer, it is even more important to make sure we keep our athletes healthy and sound so they can perform to the best of their abilities. After all, we want to remedy small issues before they accumulate to become significant problems or injuries, right?
