'"I have been working with Kirsty since 2018 with my Shepherd mix when he was diagnosed with medial shoulder syndrome and now with my 3-year-old Belgian Malinois to make sure he has the balanced physique to protect himself from his usual level of intensity when we participate in agility, disc, dock diving, sprinter, or just screaming through the woods.
​
I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for rehab treatment for a specific issue or you just want an exercise regime that will help keep your canine partner safe and healthy. She will give you a plan that is well-structured, gets results, and (the best part) she is great at judging your progress (and knows if you or your dog cheat). Any dog would benefit but doubly so for those that participate in sports regularly. "
