Why Movement Changes Everything

Movement is not just physical.

It shapes:

• how your dog experiences stress.
• how their body absorbs load.
• how their nervous system recovers from challenge.
• how long they stay sound, confident, and capable.

When movement quality is poor, everything downstream suffers:

🐾 Behavior
⚡ Arousal
🦴 Injury risk
🧬 Longevity

MOVE. rebuilds the foundation underneath all of it.
