Bosu Ball

Exercising with the Bosu Ball improves a dog's balance and proprioception, which is the sense of knowing where a body part is in space. The Bosu Ball is also used for increasing range of motion and flexibility, improving reflexes, and building up muscle tone and endurance.

Some of the benefits of using the Bosu Ball for canine rehabilitation:

• Improves reaction and control
• Increases trunk and core strength
• Stabilizes weak areas
• Improves balance and proprioception 
• Increases range of motion in joints & elongation of the muscles
• Improves sensory & body awareness
• Increases flexibility and coordination throughout a limb's entire range of motion.
