When therapeutic exercise is discussed, ask what the proposed activity is intended to explore or support within your dog’s plan. Clear instructions should connect the activity to an individual assessment, rather than leave you guessing from a demonstration.
Practical questions matter too. Explain the space, time and help available at home, and say if something is unclear. Ask how to raise questions about the instructions and when they will be reviewed. This article contains no exercise prescription.
