Breaker tested into Level Two core stabilization exercises

Prior to taking the front and rear limb strength tests, Breaker completed the core stabilization test (Chapter 3). He tested into Level Two core stabilization exercises. He tests into Level Three front limb exercises and Level Three rear limb exercises. Because all exercises require a strong core, he will begin all exercises at Level Two (which is as high as he should go for front limb strengthening for conformation because Levels Three and Four may increase bulk over the shoulder). The balance and strength components of his program will consist of Level Two core stabilization, front limb and rear limb exercises. He will complete these exercises for twelve weeks, twice a week, ten repetitions of each exercise with good posture and control. For conformation dogs, good posture means special emphasis should be placed on maintaining the top line while completing the exercises.
