Tanya has an exquisite gift which enables her to encapsulate through words the true depths of what clicker training allows us to […]
This is quite an incredible case study, who was horribly lame and who had serious ringbone. The changes in her joint ossification, as shown by the radiographs, after her rehab are simply amazing!
