In this episode, you'll learn about Sheba, a German shepherd (GSD) diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy (DM), and how I helped Sheba and her owners improve her quality of life.

You'll hear why proactive care is essential to your dog's well-being and how you can be an active participant in your dog's healthcare team.

You'll learn why it's important to interrupt the "downward spiral" caused by compensations for limitations, and how specific, gentle, hands-on work helped Sheba alleviate muscle tremors and improve her comfort.


And how this approach may help your dog too, even if they're a young, healthy pup!


This hands-on approach can benefit all dogs, not just those with specific diagnoses. It can:

  • Improve a dog's ability to move and function
  • Reduce the risk of injury
  • Deepen the bond between dog and owner
  • Enhance communication and focus
