Get the edge over the competition with NEW FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment! Core conditioning is an essential part of any athlete's training program, including the performance dog. If your dog participates in performance sports, you'll want to make sure your dog is in prime physical condition. Once on top of the FitPAWS® conditioning equipment, your dog's body will automatically react to the shifting movement, causing your dog to use different muscle groups simultaneously in order to remain upright. Adding this strengthening activity to your dog's cross-training activities 3-4 times a week, has many benefits, including:
- Improved reaction and control
- Increased trunk and core strength
- Stabilization of weak areas
- Improved balance and proprioception (awareness of the body's position in space)
- Increased range of motion in joints & elongation of the muscles
- Improved sensory & body awareness
FitPAWS® Paw Pods are Balance Pods for dogs! Place under your dog’s feet for advanced balance training, core strengthening and stacking training for show and performance dogs. FitPAWS® Paw Pods can also be used for improving weight bearing issues for individual limbs, another great tool for canine rehab practitioners.
If your dog competes in conformation events, you’ll need this latest positive training tool to teach the art of stacking. Instruction insert included.
The set includes 4 colorful Paw Pods (assorted colors.) The Paw Pods are made from a firm yet flexible PVC material with an air-filled chamber. The Paw Pods are shipped inflated. Adjust the balance challenge by changing the amount of air inside each pod with a needle pump (not included.) You can also change the difficulty level by using the Paw Pods placed with the flat side down (less challenging) or the dome side down (more challenging.) The FitPAWS Paw Pods feature sensory bumps on top for neural stimulation and grip capability.
