Hi Everyone!

I've just seen on the website that it's important to train with your tripawd to make the leggs stronger.

I have a balance board (actually for humans, a round board with a sort of bal underneath also got the little bumps on top) but i think i can use it for Chef as well.

I just tried if he wanted to get on it and with a dozen of treats he would put his front paw on there. While doing this i was wondering how the exercise actually works. How long will you be doing this at the time and what kind of excersises??

Is there anyone who does the same training with their dogs? please let me know i can use some advice here

Thanks!

Jamilla and Chef

Here you can check out what it looks like don't know how to upload a picture lol

Jamilla! I'm so glad you got into the Forums! How did you do it? Welcome!

OK first we'd LOVE to see the photos but when we click there, Facebook says "Content Unavailable." ?

Using the Balance Board is a blast! There's lots of great ideas for introducing a dog to it. Here's Wyatt his first time on a Wobble Board. We had to do this several times over a few weeks but now he's a natural at it:
