The Canine Body is a practical, accessible handbook designed to help dog owners better understand how their dog moves and become more confident recognising when something changes.
You’ll learn how to observe posture, gait and everyday movement, understand the basic structures involved in movement, recognise changes in symmetry, power and coordination, and build a clearer picture of what is normal for your individual dog.
Rather than teaching you to diagnose problems, the handbook focuses on helping you look, compare and notice change — so you can record useful observations and know when it may be worth seeking professional advice.
Inside, you’ll explore:
body type and functional anatomy
joints, muscles and fascia
standing posture and gait
head, back, pelvis and limb movement
paw placement
symmetry, power and coordination patterns
compensation
how to record your dog’s normal
when to seek help
Full colour throughout, with real-life examples, photographs and practical observation tips.
48 pages • A5 • Full colour
