FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment can be used by our four-legged friends for core strengthening, increased range of motion and flexibility, neuromuscular facilitation, sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment, and balance control. Whether your dog is involved in agility, conformation, flyball, disc dog sports, dock jumping, other dog sports, or is a working dog or a couch potato with healthier aspirations, core strength is a fundamental element used by your dog to control its body when jumping, turning, running and to help prevent injuries.

Get the edge over the competition with NEW FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment! Core conditioning is an essential part of any athletes training program, including the performance dog. If your dog participates in agility competitions, you'll want to make sure your dog is in prime physical condition. Once on top of the FitPAWS® conditioning equipment, your dog's body will automatically react to the shifting movement, causing your dog to use different muscle groups simultaneously in order to remain upright. Adding this strengthening activity to your dog's cross-training activities 3-4 times a week, has many benefits, including:

The FitPAWS™ Balance Disc can be used for weight bearing activities and balance training for sporting and working dogs or for animal rehabilitation and therapy. The professional-grade heavy-duty PVC material is formulated for use with dogs, provides superior gripping and resists damage caused by dog nails.

The FitPAWS Balance Disc has a 14” training surface and may be used in multiples to create a balance training course. It has two training surfaces, a flat/smooth side and a textured surface. The balance challenge can be easily adjusted by removing or adding air with a needle pump (not included.)

To add more air to the Balance Disc, use a pump with a needle attachment. The inflation hole is on the side of the disc with the sensory bumps, located three rows in from the outside. Make sure the needle is pushed all the way in and flush with the disc before inflating with more air.

To remove air from the Balance Disc, remove the needle attachment from the pump and place it in the inflation hole of the disc. Then squeeze the disc until the desired air amount is removed from the disc.
