Cavaletti
Cavaletti, meaning "little horse" in Italian, is a training tool originally used for horses to improve their balance, adjust stride length, and condition. Nowadays, many dog trainers use cavaletti poles for canine conditioning and physical therapy. The setup for canine cavaletti is similar to that used for horses, though lighter materials like plastic or PVC are often used. Including cavaletti in regular training can improve footwork, build confidence, independence, and patience in dogs. Give it a try and discover the benefits of cavaletti exercises for your furry friend!
