Weight transfers involve pushing gently against the animal's hips from left and right so that it transfers its weight from one back paw to the other. It is very important that you speak to your veterinarian about the exercises you plan to do at home. Your veterinarian is the only person who can tell you and show you how to do the exercises properly according to your pet's health. Remember to warm up your dog before any exercise (2–3 minute walk or gentle massage).
