so grateful that these are a free resource! just finished the hip joint video so have come to this one to increase my understanding of the area further. Love how you tied in clinical relevance to all of the anatomical and physiological aspects you discussed. I have just finished my level 3 and this is the perfect amount of extra detail needed now I have the initial knowledge to really enhance what I have learnt!
Thanks Lucy for your feedback and I think you would love the K9 Therapy Hub on our website k9hscourses.com for more of the same and we are launching a new functional anatomy series in 2023 to advance the resources even further!
Hello! I'm sure its a complex question to answer online and especially with little to no information, but I have a 1,5 year old Akita female that seems to lack all and any gluteus muscles. She has a bit of a funny way to walk and run but she can trot pretty well now as far as I can see. We have been doing hydrotherapy, walking in water twice a week for 7 months. She was considerably 'worse' when we started but I can still feel the bones around her hip area. Any theories on why she has these issues and how to work on them?
Thanks for the question and it is best to find a recommended canine therapist to fully assess your lovely dog and devise an individual treatment programme, to include a re-assessment each session. Integrated practice combining canine hydrotherapy with land based movement therapies and techniques always optimises the dog's progress and outcomes. I hope this helps?
Superb presentation, Barb. Thank you. It would be great to have some lectures on therapeutic exercise ideas for specific muscle groups - just to add into the tool kit.
Barb, you're an amazing educator. I have an interest in changing my career from therapeutic movement with humans to therapeutic work with dogs. Do you have recommendations for education in addition to your courses? Im in the U.S.
Thanks for your lovely feedback. I am not aware of any US courses which utilise canine movement enrichment techniques working with the dog and with their consent. These are totally different to training tactics and dog games. We use a therapeutic and holistic approach to canine movement which is dog centric. I wish you luck with your studies and moving over to dogs, its the best job in the world. Check out k9hscourses.com for some great online short courses that may interest you.
