ATHLETIC DOGS

 

If your dog takes part in a fast paced activity with quick twists and turns and sudden stops they can be susceptible to injury. You may not notice it straight away as dogs are very resilient and can hide injuries.

Like human athletes, dogs that take part in athletic events such as agility, flyball, cani-x, obedience, racing or even pet dogs that are very active on their walks can benefit from warm up, cool down and maintenance massages.

If you have therefore noticed any change in their performance such as:

  • Knocking poles

  • Missing contact points

  • Reluctance to weave

  • Slowing down

  • Lameness

  • Lacking focus

  • Loss of interest on walks

  • Change in behaviour

It may mean that they are carrying an injury and could greatly benefit from Clinical Canine Massage Therapy.
