Success Stories

I still come back to a new realization or perhaps clarity, that although surgeons are trained in where the muscles are and
technically what they do, they are not trained on WHAT they do. They do not all "groove" on function and process like PTs, but rather structure and architecture as they relate to function. The function of the muscle groups together, in concert, in health and varying degrees of injury and healing, is a totally different mindset than what's "broken". THAT is where our PTs are golden! (which is especially appealing to us Golden lovers!)

Lefty sends his undying love and a little slobber! He's loving life. Still mixing 12 and16" jumps until he is more fit. Can't do too much outside to strengthen and stretch with gentle use, because he HATES the >90 degree temps. SO, we're going swimming when we can, doing agility class and practice and progressing that way, which is fine by us! He is incredibly eager and happy when we're working (which is normal for him). Loving Rally class as well as the return to agility.

Hi Debbie,

A while back I had emailed you about your Get On The Ball DVD and bought the DVD and later a Pezzi ball. They were for a Cardigan corgi who herniated a disc, just one Double Q from her MACH.

With a lot of dedication and time and wonderful people including you, I am proud to say Morgan ran her heart out Saturday and earned her MACH! She is now retired for agility but we will continue our get on the ball work and I also am using it on my other cardigan and my new young Papillon.

As soon as I can I will be ordering the stretching and strengthening DVDs, also. I really understand now how important conditioning is. Even as an all-breed professional handler for 20 years in which we did road work for the show dogs, I now understand there is more to conditioning a dog properly.

Thanks again,
Dixie Rae

Dear Debbie,
I don't know if you remember my Puli, Mushi Bear—we saw you a year ago after she pulled a tendon in her leg. We did 6 months of rehab and then 6 months bringing her back to competition level. If you remember Mushi is 12 years old so we decided to take it slow.

Mushi Bear competed this weekend in agility and ran clean in all five runs. First place in all and her times were fast. Everyone at the show could not believe her times and her agile moves. We couldn't have done it without your expert treatment and advise.

Thank you for giving me my agility dog back.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
My boy is back. He did 3 races, 9 heats (which means he ran 9 times) yesterday and ran better at the end of the day than in the morning. He bounced down and back the last heat of the day. He came home in good shape, we did a mile this morning at the dog park in Norwich then I took all 3 dogs to Mansfield Hollow Dam for a 50 minute walk or in their case run.

I am delighted to report that Mulder got better from your treatment and exercise program, so much so that we were awarded Best of Breed at the Golden Retriever Club of America National Specialty on Saturday !!!

We stretch everyday and before going into the ring and I am certain it paid huge dividends. My peanut ball arrives today!! Thank you so much for your help and be assured I will be back if ever the need arises.
