Big ask: Is anyone willing to donate rehab items so I can trial or help provide products on loan to my patients, shoulder, knee or hock braces, help to get up harnesses, surgery recovery suits, bootees, etc
Literally anything which has helped you help your dog after an injury or surgery that you don't need anymore.

This equipment is pretty expensive to buy sometimes and when owners struggle with rising vet costs and medication especially when insurance just doesn't come close to paying even half in many cases.

Without some specialist equipment It can mean that a dogs recovery takes much longer or some even have to contemplate having their dog pts because they cannot physically help their dog up to toilet with dignity - how many of us suffer with back backs.... 😢

I see it every day and it's incredibly distressing - donating could truly make all the difference in the world to an owner who needs our help.

I normally dont get involved because of people change their mind - which impacts on my character

But a Merle girl collie - 6 years - is looking for a new home genuinely through no fault of her own.
Her owners had twin premature babies who are really unwell and are back and forth to a London hospital from Ipswich every week for the last two years. The chap has taken mega early retirement to be able to look after his babies and meet the appointments but the dog is really struggling as she doesn’t have the attention she needs and she doesn’t know how to be around the babies and equipment - now at 2 yrs but still needing round the clock care as they have severe breathing problems.

This doggie will need to work - agility / flyball would be perfect once she’s match fit
Transparency: Her breeder has also been contacted so may be rehoned through them

If you feel you have the time to give this girl what she deserves please pm me

FULL TRANSPARENCY:

It's a nailbiting time as I work towards launching my first dog health and wellness membership as the Canine Advocate.

Here's what's going on.....

The membership is called The Canine Health Accelerator with different monthly topics covering what you need to know as a dog owner. Aimed predominantly at the new/prospective dog owner or the dog owner who's not that heaviliy involved in the dog world.

I have a new fb page to enable me to technically and automatically link loads of stuff: my website, funnels, ads, connections between socials and analytics.
My page name is The Canine Advocate: Dog Health and Wellness and a facebook community The Canine Advocate: Dog Health Support Group I'll drop the links to both here later if anyone wants to jump in. I'll also have a new You tube channel

Plus I'll be building my email list for the Canine Advocate to provide up to the minute newsletters, offers, key information and deals etc,.

I am still gainfully a multi award winning Canine Rehab and Fitness Specialist

I'll update this Born to Run page with my specialities and services over the next few days BUT but don't worry if you currently book with me you already know what I offer.

There is no change day to day I just need to bring my Born to Run online information up to date.

If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask ☺️

Soapbox:

I figure if you want to subject your dog to early onset arthritis (which btw the untrained eye may not spot for years) under the guise of core conditioning by all means crack on! If this is you we will never be a match.

if on the other hand your dog is asked to perform non functional activities or movements on inflatables or wobble equipment and stand with their front feet up on a platform and do a little monkey dance circle around the platform for you and your gut tells you this is little circus act is simply to entertain you as an owner then theres hope for your dogs future health

The former will (in the guise of fun) mean higher vets bills more injuries and long term irreparable damage. A proper core program by a proven professional on the other hand could save you hundreds if not thousands on vet bills and medication long term

Ask any of my program attendees for honest feedback about the above once they’ve been given the tools to critically assess their dog and have completed the core program - the knowledge never leaves them and their dog is better for it now and in the future

5 star reviews across the board as a multi award winning rehab specialist - means your dog comes first - they’re not a circus act nor puppet they are a sentient being. Living and feeling with emotions they are not here for our amusement - their lives matter too

📢 I did a 7 week Core Program trial format

After some enquiries I've had friend couples come and do the Core Conditioning 7 week Foundation together with their dogs at my place in Bury St Edmunds.

Plus I offered it at £495 each dog with a payment split 50% upfront and 50% before week 4.

I have to say it has worked an absolute dream!

Working together with a like minded friend you get their additional support and feedback and momentum and accountability to train the additional 2 times a week. The results are proving to be full on impressive! 🤓

This has meant that there is loads of 121 attention PLUS the times and days are chosen by you for you! Maybe you'd be interested in doing some of your "without me" sessions here - at mine with your friend & use my equipment (Lets talk)

If you and a friend are interested in working through the program together and want to fly into 2025 with a dog who moves better, feels better and is stronger than before let me know.

As some groups are coming to an end I will have spots available from the 28th of October. 🐾❤🐾

The urge to move online and future proof small therapy business is putting our dogs at risk !

Question: Do you think your dog is the same as every other dog?

No! Just like us they are all different.

So, when it comes to rehab / physio your dog needs a plan which works for their breed/ breed mix, body condition, diagnosed condition, life experiences , injury, age, ability, fitness level, home environment, The list goes on …….

So imagine the ethical among us are already correcting the damage done by the bright shiny out of the box solutions (ps which are awesome if you are as qualified as the solution provider and you own their dog) - solutions from people who will never assess your dog for suitability or progress conditioning programmes. Now we see out of the box rehab programmes 😢😢😢

Wha????? there’s absolutely no such thing!!!!

Every therapist just like your vet should apply clinical reasoning to the recovery program they provide to get your dog back on track. It’s a moving target.
taking account of home life, pet parent time, compliance and progress and so much more - I don’t want to bore you with

I’ll always choose and recommend a therapist who works with the dog in front of them
if anyone says in week 1 here is your 6 - 8 week post cruciate surgery plan off you go - please decline It may seem like the easy option but is it best for your dog ?

Today is a sad day

Gray wolves protection bill introduced in US Congress to have them permanently protected

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Yesterday, U.S. Senator Cory Booker and Representative Raúl Grijalva introduced the Tribal Heritage and American Bison, Grizzly Bear, and Wolf Restoration and Coexistence Act. This landmark legislation seeks to permanently protect these critical ecosystem guardians and expand recovery efforts by working closely with Tribal Nations. It emphasizes the vital spiritual, cultural, and ecological value of bison, grizzly bears, and wolves to Indigenous communities, whose leadership will guide the restoration of these species on tribal lands.

The act builds on past conservation efforts and reinforces the need for Indigenous-led management to heal ecosystems disrupted by the near-eradication of these animals. By reintroducing and safeguarding these species, the bill aims to restore balance to ecosystems, fostering biodiversity and strengthening ecological health for generations to come.

“American bison, grizzly bears, and gray wolves are iconic American species and are timeless symbols of our nation’s heritage, yet these animals were driven to the brink of extinction,” said Senator Booker. “Building on the success of past conservation legislation like the American Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, I am proud to introduce legislation that directs the Secretary of the Interior to works closely with Indigenous communities to ensure permanent protection for these animals.”

"Bison, grizzly bears, and wolves hold significant spiritual, cultural, and ecological value to many tribal communities and our nation,” said House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Raúl M. Grijalva. “I’m proud to introduce this legislation with Senator Booker to enshrine protections for these species and ensure that conservation and management are conducted in close consultation with Tribal Nations."

We applaud the efforts of these lawmakers and their partnership with Tribal Nations!
