With the increasing numbers of dogs competing in performance events, such as agility, and in fun casual physical activities, there’s a developing interest in understanding exactly how dogs move. Canine gaits are the foundation of all performance events. For example, in conformation, dogs must move efficiently and correctly in the ring. In agility and obedience, dogs use the walk, trot and canter at different times; dogs that move smoothly between gaits will perform better and be less likely to suffer injuries.
By understanding the appearance of the normal canine gaits, you can recognize a gait abnormality that might indicate an injury or fatigue, and take timely actions, such as resting the dog or making a veterinary appointment.
