FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment is used by animal
rehabilitation professionals, veterinarians, sport dog enthusiasts and
professional dog trainers for core strengthening, increased range of motion
and flexibility, neuromuscular facilitation, sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment, and balance control.
Core
strength is a fundamental element used by your dog to control its body when jumping, turning, running. Helping your dog
develop strong core muscles can reduce and prevent injuries. This is true whether your dog is involved in dog sports, is a
working dog, or just a couch potato with healthier aspirations.
Core conditioning is an essential part of any athletes training program, including the performance dog. If your dog
participates in agility competitions, you'll want to make sure your dog is in prime physical condition. Once on top of the
FitPAWS conditioning equipment, your dog's body will automatically react to the shifting movement, causing your dog to
use different muscle groups simultaneously in order to remain upright. Adding this strengthening activity to your dog's
cross-training activities 3-4 times a week, has many benefits, including:
Improved reaction and control
Increased trunk and core strength
Stabilization of weak areas
Improved balance and proprioception (awareness of the body's position in space)
Increased range of motion in joints and elongation of the muscles
