She regularly lectures for colleagues, has written appropriate-use protocols for lameness in telemedicine and leads a team helping develop technology for improved gait analysis.

Tracy has trained and competed with her own dogs for over twenty years. She knows current and past trends in handling, nutrition, and training. She’s worked with weekend teams and world teams, with a specific ability to adapt to the individual and their goals.

Her special interest is return-to-performance work and prehabilitative care, merging her experience with training protocols and behaviour to format a bespoke approach to canine health.

What is prehab? 

Prehabilitation is a cornerstone of sports management, designed to help athletes reach their potential while reducing their chance of injury.

 

Highly individualized, we focus on performance by breaking down movement, muscle, and brain function.

How do we help performance? 

When you train with your canine partner; are you focused on the movement or the skill?

 

Prehabvet is for all competitors, from novice to championship. We focus on movement and muscle function to reduce the load on your canine partner. Stress load limits speed, stamina, setups and sequences.

 

Interested in gait analysis? A fluid form functions faster. Need sport development protocols? We've got you. At heart, we are a vet-led team that loves working dogs.
