Charlie LOVES rehab and this was our third attempt at him leaving and not just hanging out in clinic for the day.
We think he'll agree. He's pretty spry for 17!!! ❤️

Most days I love my job. I love helping animals.
Then there's days like today with lots of lovely patients, topped off helping Chloe try out her brand new wheels.
I think she approves of her new shiny pink wheels and new found freedom ❤️❤️❤️

Penny says rehab is haaarrrrdddd
Doing exercises correctly without cheating to help build her butt after hip surgery a few years ago. Penny regularly walks 5-10k a day but this was her 10 mins in, she quit on us 🤣
Short sessions (5-10mins if fun) with correct form are mentally and physically tiring for your pup. While also building muscle, preventing mususe injuries and prolongimg a great quality of life ♥️
I'm in love. ❤️❤️❤️ My class 4 laser finally arrived today.
Laser or photobiomodulation as it's being called these days is helpful for many conditions and I use it in almost all my appointments. More information on why it's amazing can be found here https://www.furability.ca/therapeutic-laser
It replaces my very old 3b laser that will retire with dignity having helped me establish myself 10 years ago in the UK.
Chin
Today its cloudy and a bit cold outside so we are playing around proofing Cherry's chin command. Hoping to get this advanced today to do some side targetting.
My old guys are getting a massage later on.
What is everyone else up to today?
Fitness training isn't just for the canine athlete, it should be for all our dogs as mental enrichment, body conditioning and a way to bond with them.
Maple wasn't missing out on training today. For an 11 year old girl she's very determined.
Maple is 11, is partially deaf, has spondylosis and a cancer diagnosis. She has ignored all of these and continues to be happy and fit and very vocal about her turn!
Excuse the camera work I didn't realize we were still filming. I'm just so happy to see her so keen to work (well to be fair, in her mind its all about eatting treats!).
