    Sarah Fisher with Henry

    Have we been overlooking key physical needs of our dogs throughout their lifespan? Dog behavior expert Sarah Fisher applies sharp observation skills and “ACE free work”--a program of sensory enrichment and unrestricted physical activities–to help dogs overcome serious physical and behavioral challenges. In this episode, Sarah previews her session at the Dog Behavior Conference, chatting with Victoria about topics including:

    • How Sarah’s background in human massage therapy, anatomy, and physiology led her to help dogs overcome pain.
    • How a dog’s posture and mobility are linked to emotional balance and behavior.
    • How ACE Free Work engages the sensory system and helps dogs of all ages to overcome limitations.
    • Helping clients see dogs of all ages with new eyes.
    • Observing the spine, neck, joints, and legs for signs that an animal is struggling.
    • Decoding the challenges of aging dogs.
