Though you’d all like an update on Rocky, the second pup from the Ontario SPCA Muskoka Animal Centre. He’s doing great with his new family, growing like a weed and beginning to stand taller on his back legs!!

The College of Veterinarians is at it again 🤬. We are all so tired of battling with them as they keep trying to restrict what we are allowed to do. Appropriately qualified animal rehabilitation professionals should be able to be part of your animals healthcare team, working in conjunction with your veterinarian. It should not be a case of them against us.
Updated with new video from Shauna.

I managed to catch a picture of Shadow’s serious face! As you can see from the rest of the video a lot of effort is going into keeping Shadow happy during his physio appointments, which aren’t always very comfortable as we try to stretch out his tight muscles.
If you would like to help the Ontario SPCA Muskoka Animal Centre pay for Shadow’s treatment please visit the link below, or you can make a donations at Gus & Gigi's or Tuffy's Natural Pet Store.

You can help Shadow by contributing towards the cost of his rehabilitation. You can make donations direct to the Muskoka SPCA, in person at Gus & Gigi’s in Huntsville, at Tuffy’s Natural Pet Store in Bracebridge and at Muskoka MVMT physiotherapy clinic in Huntsville.

This lovely senior boy had a “mini stroke” or TIA in the fall which left him off balance and very weak. As you can see he has made an amazing recovery thanks to his owners dedication with his home exercise programme.

More shoulder stuff! Tullys turn to demonstrate today. Working on core and side flexor strength, and stability and eccentric control of the standing leg.

My Rhu had a freak injury a couple of months ago and we are now working on rehabbing him to get back to agility, specifically working on shoulder stability.
Even though we’re focusing on shoulder function and stability, any exercise works other parts of the body too. Take a look at the video and let me know what else you think is being worked in the two exercises.
I taught Tully this trick when he was a puppy for one of his Trick Dog titles. Decided to try it the other night to see if he still remembers….. I think he did pretty good! This is a great one for foot position awareness, and we are working on standing still once up on the pods.
My young dog thinks that everything should be done at full speed, so we are beginning to work on reminding him about collection and control! I set up this grid with the jumps getting closer together. It took about seven reps before he worked out how to keep all the bars up! This is going to be an ongoing project!!
