Kruuse Rehab Weight Cuffs

Weight training is used to exercise the dog's muscles and can be used for rehabilitation as well as wellness training programmes. When exercising the dog's hind legs, the weight cuffs are placed above the hock with the side pockets turning away from the body.

When exercising the front legs, the weight cuffs should be placed above the carpus. To improve balance and control the dog should wear weight cuffs in pairs. Exercising with weight cuffs results in stronger muscles and better movements. The training should be adjusted from using very light weights to heavier weights after a couple of weeks.

A suitable start weight is 1 g per kilo of the dog's bodyweight. After some time you can increase the weight to 2 g per kilo of the dog's bodyweight.
