Dear readers and followers, although I closed Canine Mobility's website down at the end of 2023, I left my Amazon page up and have continued to sell Anti-Knuckling Devices through that sales channel. I am not selling Help 'Em Up Harnesses or leashes on the Amazon page but I do still have inventory if you need something. I would be happy to liquidate my inventory of HEU products at a 20% discount. I presently have all sizes of harnesses plus the Walking Handles and Walking Leash/Shoulder straps. -Jeff

Subject: Announcement - Closure of Canine Mobility LLC

Dear Customers/ and Partners,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the closure of Canine Mobility LLC, effective December 31, 2023. This decision was not made lightly, and it comes after a thorough evaluation of the business and its future prospects.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to our loyal customers who have supported me throughout the years. Your trust and partnership have been invaluable, and I appreciate the relationships we have built.

Over the coming weeks, I will be working to ensure a smooth transition for our customers and partners. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at (206) 361-4100 or on my cell at (206) 853-5307.

Once again, thank you for being a part of the Canine Mobility journey. It has been my honor and pleasure to help the 500 plus dogs I have been fortunate to come in contact with and the parents of those dogs that entrusted me to help when conventional veterinary medicine failed them. I am proud of what we have achieved together.

Wishing you all the best,

Anti-Knuckling Device versus No Knuckling Training Sock: Which is better for addressing your dog’s hind leg weakness/knuckling issues?

Dear Readers, I recently received this interesting question online and want to share it with you.

What is the difference between Canine Mobility’s Anti-Knuckling Device and the No Knuckling Training Sock from Handicapped Pets?

Here is a simple summary of the differences between the two products:

The Anti-Knuckling Device from Canine Mobility encourages mobility by gently pulling the leg forward.

The No Knuckling Training Sock from Handicapped Pets utilizes a soft enclosure with Velcro straps for the leg and an adjustable elastic cord that loops around and elevates the toes.

More specifically:

The Anti-Knuckling Device has two unique components:

1. A figure-8 shaped paw strap. This paw strap loops around the middle toes, then crisscrosses over the top of the paw and buckles behind the lower leg at the other end. The paw strap is made of soft material that retains its shape, even when wet.

2. A weather resistant elastic cord that attaches to the paw strap, and gently pulls the hind leg forward and provides strengthening of the hind leg muscles as a result of gentle tension being placed on the leg as it extends backwards.

The Anti-Knuckling Device helps to strengthen and rehabilitate hind leg muscles of dogs recovering from surgery or injuries. It has been successfully used helping dogs stay mobile, including those suffering from neurological conditions such as Degenerative Myelopathy. Canine Mobility recommends starting out with 10-15-minute walks graduating in 5-minute increments as the dog’s paw/paws become used to walking with the device. For best results and more information, see our Best Practice Guidelines at https://www.canine-mobility.com/2013/12/07/canine-mobility-akd-best-practice-guidelines/.

The No Knuckling Training Sock is a stationary enclosure for the front or back leg. While it lifts the toes, it doesn’t propel the leg forward. Also, there is constant pressure from the elastic cord on the toes, which can cause chafing or sores. Because of this, Handicapped Pets' recommended use is for 2–5-minute walks.

This is Shakespeare, a 12-year-old Golden Retriever suffering from arthritis in his hind end. He is shown with his Dad, Guillaume, on their maiden walk with the Anti-Knuckling Device. Shakespeare did really well on this day and continues to improve. Thanks to Guillaume and Marina for reaching out to me and giving me the opportunity to help Shakespeare!

Hi all and Happy Friday!
I just moved our website (https://www.canine-mobility.com) to a different server this afternoon and the site still up (sort of) but not completely. As of this moment all pages except for the Shop page (arguably the most important page) and the last two tabs (Canine Mobility Team and Canine Rehabilitation) are kind of wonky. By this I mean that they have lost all the background and all of the formatting. It will take 24-48 hours for the site to fully propagate. I did a test transaction this afternoon and all the links on the Shop page still work but it looks kind of weird. Clicking on any of the links will open the page as normal and as it should look. Apologies for any headaches or confusion. Thank you.
