Contact: For registration and/or clinic content information contact Maryna Ozuna at (520) 266-3124, or [email protected]. For information about the facility contact Liane Ehrich at (520) 201-4333.
Location:
The clinic will be held at the The Dog Spot facility, an indoor, temperature-controlled facility.
Structure:
The two-day format is a participatory hands-on skills building workshop focused on identifying, assessing, using, and transforming structural and movement cues to aid in behavioral and sports training. This is the most comprehensive look at movement analysis and its correlations to behavioral restructuring and sports development that exists in workshop format. Because of the detailed nature of the subject material, every effort has been made to create teaching modules where all students will be learning simultaneously to maximize the learning experience. Some exercises will be visual, most will be hands on. The Movement Markers Sports Therapy Curriculum will be sent to all inquiries as well.
Class Limit: To maximize learning, clinic attendance will be limited to 10 working slots. Participants may bring one dog. Those traveling from out of town contact me for prior approval if needing to travel with multiple dogs. This is a very hands-on clinic where we will often be working on all the dogs simultaneously, so no HA (human aggressive) or DA (dog aggressive) dogs will be allowed. Also, because of liability limitations, no bully, bully cross, mastiff or mastiff cross breeds will be allowed. Participants should bring their own crate. Dogs must be crate trained as we will be rotating the dogs we are working with continually throughout the three days. Crate trained means that your dog goes in their crate and hangs out quietly. We are trying to create the best living laboratory for learning possible. All dogs need to have on or available a well fitted martingale style collar for specific balance and handling reasons, no exceptions. A handout will be provided to clinic attendees on proper martingale fit.
Covid Protocols: Please bring a mask for if I have to demo something close in on a dog. Covid protocols are softening, but we will still want to stay safe.
Modified Covid Protocols will be followed at all MM clinics depending on more stringent local requirements at the time. While seated, space allowing at least 6' between participant station with chair and crate, participants may drop their masks. While I am instructing farther than 10' away from participants, I will drop mask so that I can speak more clearly. Anytime I approach a student and/or dog to demonstrate, we may need to mask up. Participants will be expected to be good sports and follow these basic guidelines without whining.

Cost:
Cost is $475.00. A registration form must be submitted to hold a working slot. A Non-Refundable Deposit of $200.00 must be paid to hold your space in the clinic. Deposits may be paid by check to Arizona Doggy Dude Ranch, or by Paypal in which case I send the link to your email address. If life happens, and you are unable to attend the workshop, the deposit may be applied to another Canine Kinaesthetics clinic of any sort within three years of the date of payment. The balance of the fee must be paid on or before 15 days before the start of the workshop. Lunches and breakfast noshes are provided.
Instructor:
Classes will be taught by Maryna Ozuna, the founder of Canine Kinaesthetics (1982), and owner and trainer at Arizona Doggy Dude Ranch (2000 - present). Maryna has been the featured speaker at both the NADOI (National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors) National Conference 2019 and the IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) National Conference, and will be speaking at IACP again in September, 2022. She has been involved with sports and movement her whole life, starting the first girls’ soccer league in upstate NY (still in existence) and becoming the first woman soccer referee in NY State at the age of 16. She spent more than a decade deeply immersed in the equestrian world traveling with sport horses to World Equestrian Games in Stockholm and Rome, achieving juried international press credentials with the International Association of Equestrian Journalists and training and competing in the sport of endurance riding herself. Similarly, she has consulted all over the world in the canine community, setting up sports therapy programs for a sled dog kennel in Germany, and teaching the Canine Kinaesthetics system of hands-on therapy for dogs for the last 25+ years. The Movement Markers workshops were developed in response to a need to reestablish core movement knowledge for those involved in the world of dog at many different levels.
Content:
Join us to learn:
- Simple strategies for trouble shooting movement anomalies.
- An alphabet of key canine anatomical landmarks that contain the tells to movement.
- How to build layers of conformation and movement analysis including overall physical integrity and balance, proportions, straightness, angulation, recruitment, points of balance, rhythmicity, and gait patterns to create a training profile.
- How developmental stage, drive levels, pack status levels, arousal, injury or other factors affect the conformation and movement training profile.
- How to use Movement Marker's analysis to assess a dog's trainability threshold, their ability to absorb and utilize training information and how that information informs training solutions.
- How impairments or irregularities in a dog's movement can
directly impact their ability to properly communicate and socialize with other dogs, contributing to their behavioral issues.
- How to develop methodologies for rehabilitating dogs whose movement integrity has been compromised due to modern urban and suburban environments.
