Frequently Asked Questions

"Why does my dog need a gait and posture analysis?"

Even subtle movement issues can lead to long-term problems or reduced performance. This analysis gives you peace of mind and a clear path forward—whether your dog is active, aging, or just starting fitness.

“I don’t have any professional equipment to record my dog.”

No problem! We’ll guide you through how to film your dog using a smartphone and a tripod (or a friend). Simple setup, clear angles—we make it easy to capture what we need.

“Will I know what to do with the information in the report?”

Yes! The report includes simple, actionable fitness suggestions tailored to your dog’s needs. You’ll know exactly what to work on, when to see your vet—and why it matters.

“My dog isn’t a sport dog. Is this still useful?”

Absolutely. Up to 80% of behavior issues are caused by pain. Everyday dogs benefit from better posture and movement too! This is especially helpful for senior dogs, rescues, and pets prone to stiffness or imbalance.

“Can’t my vet or chiropractor tell me the same thing?”

Only if you're seeing a rehab or sports med vet. Other veterinary professionals are essential for medical care, but this analysis is movement-focused and training-informed. It helps you understand how your dog functions in motion—not just their health status.

I have another question.

Awesome! We can't wait to hear from you!
