I just thought I would show you a photo of the pattern a dogs legs take when grabbing a ball from
a ball thrower
I talk about them in my classes and how they can cause injuries
Look at the pattern of the skid....you can see two straight lines at the front where the dogs front legs skidded but the pattern of the back legs is so splayed out as the dogs stops itself to catch the ball.....this can cause major issues to muscle, tissue and even tendon damage which can take months to heal and then build up of scar tissue means the area will become weak and prone to damage
If you must throw a ball for your dog at least throw it by hand and even better roll it so it’s not going as far and as fast as a ball thrower
