• How to determine optimal weight – Video
• Place thumbs on the shoulder blades and let your hand rest over the
shoulder, palms against the dog, fingers pointing the ground…run your
thumbs along the dog’s spine allowing your hands to follow the outline of the
ribcage as you move towards the dog’s hips.

range.
