Hi Wendy! Great question AND good case for discussion. I like that you are approaching this case with practicality. I've had a case like this just a couple of years ago. That little one did well with pool (swimming) as and exercise, and she's come to me for laser therapy and some stretching, myofasc...

Hey Juli, My apologies for not getting to this until now. (October has been chaos!) So, this little Winston... Oh my!!!

Well dang! I have to say that I couldn't really ascertain the issues with jumping based on the video. I tried to zoom in - but then it was grainy. I tried to slow it down... but couldn't do that when I was zoomed in. All I could presume to be seeing was a bit of a roundedness in the lumbar spine - b...

Hi Julie, Okay… so, I’m going to firstly direct you to the FourLeg Training Videos 201 & 202 – these are my parts 1 & 2 of Conditioning the Canine Athlete. It’s a good place to start. Now, beyond that I’d say to think about, What is the baseline? What is the goal? These dogs aren’t needing the tread...
