Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us! Man. It has been and continues to be a very stressful time in Newfoundland. We have multiple forest fires causing significant structure damage and mandatory evacuations at several municipalities throughout the island. Temperatures remain high, earth remains frighteningly dry. Rolling with punches for a Canicross coach and harness sports trainer in this sense requires paying very close attention to: • canine body language (indicates levels of comfort, energy and enjoyment - all very important) • Canine anatomy & biology (dogs biological purpose, limitations and strengths) • A truthful & honest understanding of a dogs capabilities (Some dogs excel with physical activity and there are a multitude of levels to choose from to ensure a successful regime for you dog and for you!). However, an honest assessment must be made of your canine friend most preferably by a veterinarian before engaging in these activities. Rolling with the punches refers to the lifestyle we here are living in by watching the news by the minute for forest fire updates. SAFETY FIRST. PERIOD. This requires watching forecast temperatures, humidex, air quality index ratings etc. not all dogs are safe to run or even be active in such temperatures. It could be breed related such as running a husky in 30 degree Celsius temperatures is not only irresponsible but dangerous. The other side of that coin is running a greyhound unprotected in minus thirty degree Celsius temperatures in winter. Rates of canine obesity throughout Canada and specifically in Newfoundland & Labrador make activity in such heat and humidity risky - so please no making bulldogs chase you on an ATV please. Our recent watchlist includes the following items normally starting three days before sk I can pay attention to any trends to make my own determinations on my local areas: • Personal and canine safety for activity • Air quality ratings • Temperatures (forecast & real-time)
