Therapeutic Exercise

	After the initial consultation, a specialized exercise program (in addition to the therapeutic pool) is tailored to your dog. This will achieve the optimal results of re-using the affected limb more quickly and with more confidence, regain muscle strength, and return to their “pack.” Your dog will be trained in specific exercises and activities in a positive manner and in a friendly, safe and clean facility.
A referral from your veterinarian is required prior to starting canine rehabilitation.
Balance and Gait Retraining We use a number of balance and agility training devices in our center to achieve maximum results. We use compassionate positive reinforcement methods in all of our treatments to get your dog back on his or her paws sooner. Home Exercise Program Once an exercise program is developed for your pet, comprehensive training is provided to the owner for continued care at home. This will help your dog to achieve the best possible outcome in the shortest time. Phoebe tries out the tunnel in our exercise room.
