About this deal

It is especially aimed at the layperson, with clear, simple wording and easy-to-understand drawings. This classic on the evaluation of movement and gait will help you to a better understanding of dog gait through cineradiography – “moving x-rays.

That said, a truly fascinating aspect of the early parts of the book involves the recognition of how times have changed over nearly a century. Providing dog breeders with a manual for breeding sound dogs, Rachel Page Elliott makes a case for correct structure as the most important aspect of keeping a breeder's line going strong. Small dogs benefit from dog stairs because it reduces stress on their joints by reducing the number of times the dog has to jump each day. This book provides the layman with as clear an understanding of dog gait as has ever been available.Reduce impact on your dog’s joints - Jumping up and down takes its toll on your dog’s joints, especially the hips. More than an analytical look at the canine gait, this 144-page guide teaches the details of dog anatomy and how each body part contributes to correct movement. If you're concerned about your little four-legged friends jumping off of or onto high-up furniture, then considering new and used dog stairs might be the solution for you.

Dog steps help your dog get in and out of the back of your car, your bed, sofa or similar without jumping or lifting. The book covers the ways in which a dog walks, trots, gallops, ambles, paces and canters, and includes all the terminology used. The terms used to describe the ways in which dogs stand or move -- terms often heard but not always understood -- become crystal clear.

Generally, if your dog has any joint or hip problems, it is highly recommended that you invest in a dog ramp or a set of dog steps.

Metal, plastic, foldable or compact, we have plenty to choose from to suit your pets and their needs.Pets with joint problems should avoid stressing the joint unnecessarily by jumping in and out of cars and similar, as this will cause more joint problems. Please note that this set of large dog steps is of a single-piece design that does not fold or extend. Whether it’s for an older pet or one recovering from injury, our selection is great for assistance in and out of cars, on and off sofas and much, much more. Rachel Page Elliott's new book, From Hoofbeats to Dogsteps: A Life of Listening to and Learning From Animals, is the autobiography of a woman who has contributed so much to our understanding of dogs.
