 So you know you need to give your dog time to exercise, but where do you start? A great, and easy way to start is by teaching them the basics; sit, stay, down, shake, heel.
 Over the past couple years there has been an increase in dogs being adopted as people have started working from home. Pups across the world enjoyed the constant presence of their people and the extra attention that comes with it. However, for many, work places are starting to pull people back for "in person" hours.
 Where cold weather is concerned, age is more than a number. Like humans, very young and very old dogs have a harder time regulating body temperature, so they have more extreme reactions to changes in weather. Even when it is cold, Exercise is still important.
 Do you have an aging dog? If yes, then you know what a rewarding (but sometimes difficult) job it can be. Even when we try our hardest, sometimes there are mistakes that are made.
 Dogs love walks! Walking not only gets their joints moving but it also stimulates their mind. You can work different regions of the body by having them walk uphill, downhill, or even backwards.
 What is stance analysis?
Stance analysis is used to determine if proper weight distribution is used throughout your pets limbs. Dogs naturally bear 60% of their weight in the front limbs and 40% in their back limbs. When your pet has any injury and increase pain in a limb it will cause them to off load the weight of that limb to another. Dogs are very good at hiding their pain, making it difficult to determine which limb is actually bothering them. |
