FAQs
Q How do I know if this will help my pet?
A We recommend consulting with your Veterinarian or Rehabilitation professional before using. Many geriatric pets or those suffering from neurological problems will benefit from using the No-Knuckling Training Sock.
Q How should I expect my pet to walk with the No-Knuckling Training Sock on?
A The stimulation to your pet’s paw should cause them to pick it up higher when walking.
Q What if my pet won’t walk with it on?
A You may need to use treats and encouragement as motivation to walk. It’s a new concept for your pet to learn and may take time.
Q Will it be uncomfortable for my pet?
A The No-Knuckling Sock is a training tool and not designed for long term use. If used correctly it will solely stimulate your pet and not cause any irritation.
Q: What is the reason this product cannot be used on the front leg? Is it a medical reason?
A: This product is not designed for the anatomy of the dog’s front leg, since the angle and use of the front leg is very different from the back. Therefore, it would not work properly.
Q: Will this help with the knuckling of a dog who has DM?
A: Yes, it will help dogs who have been diagnosed with DM. It will encourage the pet to pick up the foot higher and be more aware of foot placement. In dogs who are in the later stages of DM, there will be less progress but it will still help by encouraging them to pick up the leg higher and as a strengthening tool.
Q: Why do you only use this product for 3-5 minutes at a time? What if you used it for longer, say 1/2 hour? Would it hurt the dog?
A: This product is designed to be used as a training tool. The dog will be working harder than normal to walk, so you do not want to overexert him or her or cause any skin irritation to the toes. This product is most beneficial to the pet by using it for short, frequent applications.
Q: How do you know the fitting is correct? Should the nails/toes be 1/2″ off the ground or 1″?
A: The dog’s toes should not be lifted off the ground when the dog is wearing this product. If the dog is walking and the toes are not dragging then the fit is correct. If the dog is still able to drag the toes when wearing the product you will need to tighten the cord. The hock portion should be visible out of the back of the sock as shown in pictures on the website.
Q: Will this work for a dog who “does not pick up their leg?” One customer said that their dog did not have strength in their leg to pick up the foot.
A: If the dog is still able to use his leg, then he will be able to use this product. You can also use this product in conjunction with our Walkin’ Lift Harness. As long as the dog is able to move his leg on his own, this product will be useful.

Sizing:
When sizing your pet for the Front No-Knuckling Training Sock we ask that you reference the guides below. You will find a Top of Paw to Carpal Joint chart. Measure and use the guide to let you know which size best fits your pet’s measurement. Then reference the recommended weight chart to see if that size corresponds with your pet’s weight. If your pet is a different size in both charts, then go with the Top of Paw chart. We list the weight chart as a courtesy to assist pet owners with sizing. But we know every pet is made differently, so don’t hesitate to contact one of our customer service representatives with any questions

Professionals Guide to the No-Knuckling Training Sock
The No-Knuckling Sock is designed to enhance proprioception in patients with neurological deficits. The sensory stimulation acts as a reminder for pets to lift their limb higher. It can be utilized as a gait retraining tool. The lightweight nature of the neoprene is designed to target patients with hind limb weakness.
This product may be used by rehabilitation professionals as part of a treatment plan. Pet owners can also be instructed to use it for at-home training sessions. There are numerous ways to incorporate the use of the No-Knuckling Training Sock into your practice.
Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
No-Knuckling Training Sock Walks:Apply sock to affected limb and have patient walk slowly for two to five minutes. If deficits are bilateral, apply to only one leg at a time to begin. You may progress to longer walks or using on both hind legs at the same time once patient is ready for this increase.
Enhanced Cavaletti Poles: Apply sock to affected limb during the Cavaletti poles exercise. If a patient is still hitting bars, this will add an extra reminder to pick that foot up.
Enhanced Figure 8s or Cone Weaving: Apply sock to affected limb during more difficult walking exercises. This will assist in correct paw placement as you advance your workouts.
Treadmill Patterning: Apply sock to affected limbs. This will greatly enhance any patterning exercise using a land or underwater treadmill. Time of use and progression during this exercise is at the professional’s discretion. If used in the underwater treadmill, be certain to remove after workout and let sock air-dry before next use.
