Dog MOT
Understanding how your dog moves is key to their overall wellbeing. Subtle changes in posture and gait can indicate discomfort, pain, or physical imbalances that may impact behaviour.
At Shaping Dogs, I specialise in analysing movement patterns to identify potential issues before they become bigger problems. Whether your dog is struggling with reactivity, reluctance to exercise, or just not moving as freely as they should, my holistic approach ensures we look at the whole picture—body, mind, and daily life.
By recognising early signs of discomfort, we can take proactive steps to improve mobility, reduce injury risk, and enhance your dog’s quality of life.
“The service Tracey provides, and the help she has given Cooper over time has given him a much better quality of life as he starts his double figure life. Highly recommend is still so short of the way I actually feel knowing I have my best friend back wanting to do things with me again, and I’m forever thankful that somebody actually cares about my dog instead of fobbing me off”
