KRUUSE Rehab Weight Cuffs

KRUUSE Rehab Weight Cuffs are used to exercise the dog’s muscles and can be used for both rehabilitation and wellness training programmes. The weight cuffs can be worn one by one or in pairs.

Exercising with weight cuffs will result in stronger muscles and better movements. The training should be adjusted from using light weights to heavier ones after a couple of weeks.

A suitable weight to start with is 1 g per kg of the dog’s body weight. After some time you can increase the weight to 2 g per kg of the dog’s body weight.

Please note: Weights are not included with the cuffs and must be supplied separately

Example

A dog with a 26 kg body weight starts exercising with 26 g in the weight cuffs. You can use coins to create weight. When you start up new training sessions, do not carry out exercises for more than 10-15 minutes. After two weeks you can increase exercises to two separate sessions.

Instructions for use

The weight cuffs are placed either above or below the hock joints or the carpus joints, depending on whether you want to train the dog’s back or front leg muscles.

When exercising the dog's hind legs the weight cuff is placed above the hock with the side pockets turning away from the body.

When exercising the front legs the weight cuffs should be placed above carpus.
