FitPAWS® was designed for dogs to help strengthen muscles, increase range of motion and flexibility, engage neuromuscular facilitation, provide sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment and balance control. Whether your dog is involved in sporting activities or just a pet, core strength is necessary for your dog to control its body during movements like running, jumping, and turning. It is also a great way to help prevent injuries.
BENEFITS
Core conditioning is an essential part of any dog’s training program, including the performance and pet dog. Your dog’s body will automatically react to the shifting movement of the balance products, allowing your dog’s body to use different muscles simultaneously. 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
• Improved sensory and body awareness
