UPDATED 11/24/21: READ This Before You Euthanize Your Dog - Canine Vestibular Disease
This page is being reprinted and added to with new resources since my blog page on vestibular is so popular. A friend asked me to include some of her new resources to help those whose senior dog experiences these scary balance and equilibrium symptoms that have a sudden onset. I am finding from correspondences from around the world that even vets might not be recognizing what the dog is presenting with. Many like myself believed that our dog was having a stroke; others that their dog needed to be euthanized. Our wish is that this information will help you support your dog during their vestibular syndrome so you both will have many more happy days together.
NEW: 10/26/21 : Building Focus, Attention and Connection for AWESOME TEAMWORK
Pre-ring fun to build focus, attention and connection
Ring entrance for focus and attention
Transitions between exercises in the ring
SHOWING THE EFFECT OF PRESSURE FROM THE JUDGE IN A UTILITY RUN.
How do Dogs Learn?
Example: Teaching the DOWN from the SIT in the Open Command Discrimination.
Goal: Dog moves back into the DOWN position and does not jump forward.
NEW VIDEO (October 8, 2021) The 2 cool border collies visit the doggie gym for advanced balance and proprioception fun.

Meet Myst
Everything I do is FAST..... Some judges love to watch me since I am a little crazy in all the sports I do. I LOVE herding, have finished my obedience titles and now have so much fun with scent work. Of course running on trails is my very favorite sport. |

Video 1: Fun Game for Helping Dog Learn about Obedience Ring PRESSURE
Petra Ford had an interesting Fenzi webinar on Nov. 29th where she talks about all the PRESSURE that dogs encounter in obedience which can affect their performance with things such as recalls, moving stand, straight fronts, not responding to command discriminations, signals, and much more.
This game is a fun way that she introduced to help dogs learn and experience PRESSURE from behind. As with all games they must be FUN, the dog must be HAPPY and ENGAGED and not STRESSED. This video is the very early training I have been doing with Beckett working on helping him experience pressure from behind. There are more pieces to be added such as having a person walk up behind the dog.
Video 2: FUN GAMES for UTILITY SIGNALS & GO OUT Proofing
Myst LOVES FUN... When we were training for her UD AND UDX we played these fun games for SIGNALS and GO OUTS.
