Horse rocking goes dog training! By popular demand, the Steigerwald.Team has now optimized rocking pleasure for dogs of all sizes!
Steigerwald 2BW, the horse rocker for two hooves, has been bought by dog owners pretty often, although the relation of length, weight and hight are not ideal for dog training – however, the idea does make sense:
Why should dogs have to do without the various advantages of training with a rocker?
So the runners' radius was adjusted to easy rocking to now allow for build up of muscles, be it in every day work or rehab, from puppy to senior dog. Thus, improvement of your dog's coordination and perception of his own body can be achieved most comfortably at home. Also, his fear of crossing unstable grounds will fade. By the way - not just your dog but also yourself will profit from training with the rocker: physiotherapists and fitness centres have long since been advertising the usage of unstable surfaces for traiining of the deep muscles.
To chose the fitting model, please have a look at „size finder“.
Warning! This rocker can not be used as a two hooves horse rocker! The lateral tilt would be harmful to the horses' joints.
The correct size is important for dog rockers as well:
The dog's weight needs to be evenly distributed on the rocker and the runners' radius be fitted so the correct muscles will be used to get the dog to rock.

Platform
Wire mesh plywood from made of Finnish birchtrees provide for very high bearing capacity so the dog owner is welcome to use the rocker, too.
