Dog Conditioning

Leave your dogs at D-Bar-L for conditioning and tune-ups for bird season. We also rehabilitate dogs from injuries and surgeries through careful exercise and swimming.

Improper conditioning can cause more harm than good. We start slowly and create strength, stamina, and muscle.

 

These pictures show how we use a ladder for conditioning as well as teaching big dogs how to recognize where they put their feet.

Important when the dog weighs 170 lbs like this Great Dane "Roux" who is barely 1 year old.

 

Another example of teaching big dogs coordination by balancing their weight on a small table. Quite a feat for a top-heavy puppy.
