Rehabilitation and conditioning of sporting dogs

Denis J Marcellin-Little et al. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

Owners and trainers exercise sporting dogs to increase their fitness and optimize their conditioning and performance. Training is designed to in-crease strength, endurance, and agility and is sport-specific. Sporting dogs are susceptible to specific musculoskeletal injuries. The rehabilitation of sporting dogs after these injuries follows specific principles during the acute, subacute, and reconditioning periods.
