I am a big believer in it because of my now passed on GSD who had Arthrtitis in his last couple of yrs. He was nine when I started and lived to 12 1/2. It did make a very obvious difference up to the last 6 months or so. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

The same same product I probably don't get here. They have no joint issues yet, but I guess they are prepring themselves lomg befor we notice them and I'd like to prevent. This leads me to the question, if it is prejudicial for a 40kg dog to allow him to stand on her hind feet. I mean not when she does it now and then in a playful manner, but when I train her to hold herself upright for two or three steps. I'm doing this twice a day, firstly because she loves doing this and secondly because I thought this will strengthen her muscles and so will finally be a joint-protection. I started it slowly, beginning with training the Sit Petty, then bit by bit luring her higher until she reaches a High 5 and holds it a bit. “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling
