So, I have had this idea floating around in my head for almost a year, and finally have done something about it!!
I have contacted one of the head guys of the local bully breed club (APBC) and asked him about doing a Fitness Demo for Bully Breeds! He said for me to go ahead and write out what should be demo'd, and how.
They already do weightpull and hangtime (springpole), but I figured things that are easy to do at home would should also be featured, as some of the Bullies don't/won't do either of those.
My ideas so far are:
Obedience (to tire both the mind and the body):
Doggy pushups, fetch with "leave it" and "wait" involved, etc.
Flirtpole:
DIY construction of flirtpole, with a demo on how to use it with both an adult dog (MJ) and a pup (Murphy)
Agility:
DIY home agility, like jumps, wait tables, and weaves
Foundations of Bitework:
Simple tug exercises, as well as teaching a proper "out" on a tug ONLY

I also decided that I'll probably speak for a few minutes on dog parks, nutrition, breaksticks, and some other breed-related issues.
After that, though, I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting. The demo will be all on-leash, as I want ZERO chance for an accident.
Anyone else have any ideas?
