Discover what body awareness is...and isn't.
Proprioception is your dog's awareness of where its body is relative to its environment — and where each individual leg is relative to the rest of the body.
Fully developed proprioception in your dog means more purposeful movement. This translates into fewer mistakes and the ability to use the body efficiently. This not only reduces the risk of injury but increases your dog's speed by reducing unnecessary movements.
Body awareness isn't balance, and it isn't strengthening. Knowing the difference is what lets you train it properly.
How to build the perfect proprioceptive ladder.
To fully challenge your dog's proprioception, the ladder must be just the right dimensions for your dog. Receive detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to build your dog's perfect ladder.
