Help 'em Up Harness

This is one of our favorite harnesses for dogs of all sizes to help them get off of the ground a bit easier, and/or helping them ambulate while also helping YOUR spine from bending and lifting too much.

Harnesses

Geriatric, paralyzed and/or weak hind end dogs can use some additional support in both their front and rear areas. Here's an example of the harness that we like the most to help getting your dog outside and in / out of  the car while also helping preserve your spine!

One of my most favorite games

Susan Garret's It's Your Choice Game is one of my favorites to use during adjustment visits! Here's just a short taste about it's importance.


It helps excited or nervous dogs settle their energy because it is impulse control, plus keeps them still (which saves my knees!). It helps reactive dogs have a positive reward to focus on that is not moving or amplifying their drive. 


You can use it in our waiting area, any lobby or store too! It's a fun, easy, grounding game that has become a staple for my dogs. Plus, the advanced game is a fabulous tool for every day life.


Susan Garrett ('Dogs That') has loads of training videos and online training options for you and your partner/s to participate in if online is better for your schedule. Of course, many of us enjoy in person, local trainers to trouble shoot training with and if this is the case, please let me know at your next appointment and I will help pair you with one of our amazing teachers.

Dogs That - It's Yer Choice Game

Welcome to Wild Life Chiropractic

Welcome to Wild Life Chiropractic Chiropractic Care

Find a local trainer to help you that resonates with your training styles so you can keep training / communicating consistent at home! (I can help, just ask at your appt!)


Sometimes toys are better than food, sometimes words or 'pets/ rubs' are better than food. Experiment with other things that have value for your dog.


Give your dog a variety of experiences and take them places to expose them to the car, the park, hardware stores, pet stores, do some exposure and focus exercises around (instead of inside of) dog parks, etc. Anything that allows them to gain your trust and you to understand what their 'go-to' behaviors are. Are they more fight or flight? Can you see when they are nervous versus brave? What communication, body language and verbals (and tone of those verbals) do you share with them in those moments? And are those reinforcing or correcting your desired behavior? Try to see if from their perspective!
