Peak Performance: Coaching the Canine Athlete Hardcover – 1 November 1992

This book is very informative. I am working my dogs more and wanted to feel confident in their physical preparedness.

More than just a book on performance. Zink covers all aspects of conformation and it's importance, genetic dispositions, conditioning and movement as well as some preventative exercises designed to strengthen the core muscles. A reasonably well written book, by a Vet, who truly understands athletic needs for our canines. Would recommend anyone who is working agility, water or hunting trials, etc.

I read this with interest, but found many of the ideas and suggestions truly outdated. Training has come way beyond what the book said. I know it is difficult to keep up with new training.

More a review of basic pet ownership than Dr. Zink's info about structure and form. Disappointing.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!
