Work Your Dog’s What???

CORE!

Just as we humans can benefit from a strong core, so can our dogs!  Start slow (and low) to build your dog’s confidence and balance.  You must assist your dog until he starts to get the hang of it.

You can use a child’s ball (like the one Paige is on) or a human balance ball (like the one Ronan is on).  If you can inflate or deflate the ball you can experiment to find the level that is best for a beginner and make it more challenging as your dog’s skill level improves.

Have fun but always keep it safe.  A beginner can seriously injure a leg, rib or other body part without the proper support.  Check with your vet to make sure your dog is up for the challenge!  Trying something new like this can stimulate body and mind – for both of you!

Start slowly and keep it safe!
