FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment
Just like our sister brand FitBALL® is trusted by thousands of fitness and rehabilitation professionals for high-quality standards, FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment can be used by our four-legged friends for core strengthening, increased range of motion and flexibility, neuromuscular facilitation, sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment, and balance control. Whether your dog is involved in agility, dock jumping, other dog sports, or is a working dog or a couch potato with healthier aspirations, core strength is a fundamental element used by your dog to control its body when jumping, turning, running and to help prevent injuries.
Get the edge over the competition with NEW FitPAWS Canine Conditioning Equipment! Core conditioning is an essential part of any athletes training program, including the performance dog. If your dog participates in agility competitions, 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® SIZING GUIDELINES
Choosing the correct size ball for your dog depends on what type of exercises your dog will be doing on the ball.
For weight bearing activities (when a dog is standing partially on the ground and partially on the ball,) choose a ball that is slightly under your dog's withers (or highest part of the shoulders where the neck meets the back.) If you need a ball smaller than the 40cm, purchase the 40cm and decrease the amount of air you pump in so that the ball is shorter.
For core strengthening activities (when a dog is sitting, standing or lying on the ball,) choose a ball that is at least 4" taller than your dog's withers (or highest part of the shoulders where the neck meets the back.) If you need a ball smaller than the 40cm, purchase the 40cm and decrease the amount of air you pump in so that the ball is shorter.
The FitPAWS Peanut is a good choice for beginners and for weight-bearing exercises as the unique shape of the peanut provides an easier balance challenge and rolls in one direction or plane at a time. The FitPAWS Egg is a better choice for advanced core strengthening exercises as it more unstable than the peanut and rolls in multiple directions or planes.
