It's not the fountain of youth, but being really strong can reduce and delay the impacts of sarcopenia, joint issues, and cognitive decline - three of the biggest quality of life issues for our senior dogs. It keeps them happy, and doing the things you love to do together for longer.

Let's stop demonising variation, but ALSO help create habits that are sustainable and MAKE SURE your dog's needs are met.

YOU CAN DO THIS and you deserve to work with someone kind to help you get there.

STRENGTH IS A CRITICAL PART OF PAIN MANAGEMENT.

Ziggy here is a beautiful case. He is a rescue and had behaviour problems from a young age, which was diagnosed eventually as likely resulting from pain related to a spinal fracture and protrusion - you can clearly see it on the first slide.

His amazing trainer Alice .au helped him in so many ways and he is able to even work as a stooge dog 🐕 these days - their relationship is just beautiful to watch.

After being released from a rehab program with ongoing exercises for management they started working with me on a general strength and conditioning program with some adaptations for Ziggy to help him go from management to thriving.

The difference is incredible!!

As Alice says - he used to get tight fascia and muscles with relatively limited work - which would show as twitching in his back - check out the pain story for an examples. With load management and slow but steady increases, he is super strong and you can see it in his behaviour and his posture - and no twitches!!

I’m so proud of them and so happy to see Ziggy with so much less pain.

His back and core and strong protecting his spine and regular movement and targeted exercises help to manage and prevent imbalances.

If your dog is in pain and you don’t have a fitness pro on your team, get one!

Seriously! I mean it. You wouldn't launch straight into a sprint without a warm-up - or maybe you would - but if so YOU are actively choosing to take that risk.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but YOU are in charge of your dog's welfare, and warming up (and the opportunity to move their body and mind) is part of that.

AND if you need help with a warm-up for work sports and play, I made you a present! You can check out the full blog and grab your FREE gift here:

MY WHY #caninefitness #caninerehab #canine #caninerehabilitation #canineconditioning

Will we see you there?

THEY AREN’T JUST GETTING OLDER! 👵 A lot of dogs when they hit the offical senior bracket (form 7 depending on breed), if they get hurt or develop joint issues get written off as just “getting old” and their family start to do less with them 🐕 BUT that’s very rarely the case - they are most likely IN PAIN and what’s more there is PLENTY you can do about it!! 💪 Get started with some strength and conditioning to help protect those joints! 🏃‍♀️ find an awesome physio who LISTENS like @physio.for.all 🩺 Go see your vet for a pain trial!

EXERCISE & NATURE are NON NEGOTIABLE for sentient beings. 🐾 appropriate movement can reduce and relieve pain 🧠 exercise produces feel good neurochemicals 💪 strength and conditioning fights sarcopenia 🪜 strength and body awareness together with practicing skills builds CONFIDENCE TOGETHER THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING #caninefitness #caninerehab #canineconditioning #fitdoglife #confidence

Have you seen this? A change in fur direction like this is indicative that your friend is likely IN PAIN, coming from their myofascial system - that’s the muscles tendons and ligaments and connective tissue. Lilu and I are having some massage time to temporarily reduce pain, and then we use that relief to do some passive and active range of motion to get her muscles activating correctly and reduce that pain longer term. Ultimately it’s been caused because she’s been offloading - we’ve twisted your ankle and then had back pain on the other side? Our goal is to maintain comfort and function in the rest of her body while she recovers :) #caninefitness #canineconditioning #fitdoglife

Introducing - the Shrimp 🦐 (thanks to the wonderful Jess at @n2tk9 for the inspo and very excellent name!) Lying spinal flexion and extension (and a core workout!🏋️) using an adaptation of three foundational skills. Out of the passive and into the active to keep her back strong and prevent pain and complications while she recovers from her surgery 🎉 1. MAGNET HAND 🧲 2. Paw targets - WELL generalised 3. Lie on side We also used roll over to move from one side to the other without hurting her. #caninefitness #canineconditioning #caninerehab
