Welcome to
Movement Matters
If you want your dog to move comfortably, avoid injuries, and stay healthy at every age — without longer walks, more hiking, or expensive gear — you’re in the right place.
Movement Matters isn’t about turning your dog into an athlete — and it’s definitely not a workout for you. It’s about natural movement: helping your dog use their body in ways that keep them strong, confident, and less likely to experience painful or costly injuries.
The best part? Most of what you’ll find here costs little to nothing. Many activities use everyday items from around your home, and some need no equipment at all. You don’t need fancy gear to make a big difference.
