With it's unique shape and flattened base, the TRAX Donut offers stability and versatility during training. As you teach your dog to stand, sit, lay and side step on the Donut, the subtle movement under your dog's weight constantly shifts their centre of gravity causing their core and limb muscles to engage and strengthen. By strengthening your dog's entire core muscle chain, you are increasing their mobility and agility, while reducing their chance of injury.
First, inflate the donut until it's firm. Next, let it rest for 12-24 hours so the material can stretch and then fill it all the way.
At full inflation the Donut has less dynamic movement and so is less challenging for your dog. To increase the balance challenge, remove air slightly so that the Donut has more dynamic movement.
Benefits:
- Core strengthening
- Balance training
- Instability training

For Sizing:
The FitPaws TRAX™ Donut will work for most small, medium and large dogs for weight bearing and balance exercises (2 paws on Donut, 2 paws on floor).
If you plan to use your FitPaws TRAX™ Donut mainly for core conditioning, measure your dog from the front legs to the back legs. If you dog’s natural stance measures 16” or less, you will be able to use the Donut for core training.
