| Have the vet check his spine. Maybe the vetebrae in his neck are more sensitive one way than the other. Remember, control the head control the dog. So if he doesn't want to turn his head or neck to the left, his body isn't going to go that way either. All dogs have a preferential "side". José prefers to do everything "to the right". That's easiest for him. Turning left or moving left seems to take more thought for him. My instructor tells me he is "right handed". |
| He is still very young at under a year. he really shouldn't be doing too high of jumps yet and not sure what you mean by spinning? His growth plates are not mature yet so you should be limiting his height jumps. I think. I'll let other experts jump in...If you think his hips are an issue, you can get them ex rayed but they won't usually do that until he is at least two years... |

Hi here in Uk Hips are Hip sored at about 12 months onwards , I agree with you about not too high jumps at a young age and the trainer should know this and Not push a very young puppy/dog my poor old brain boggles at some trainers ways  young dogs should be on gentle walks and gentle/low jumps  |
| she understands, we are only doing floor things like tunnels, cones n the dog walk. bloo actually spun left today! it wasnt as tight as his right spin but yay its an improvement! |
| My girl, Gigi, has HD and was found at 7 months of age and confirmed again just after two. She was crated both times |
| Remember they don't finish growing until well past 12 months. Could be his sensitivity is due to "work in progress." No jumping...just tiny jumps....bascially step-overs for the first year or so. Same thing with jumping while playing, keep his feet down on the ground as much as you can. Do you have hills you can run up and down? Local Newfoundland breeder believes her dogs' strong hips and legs due to regular sprints up a nearby hill. When you run with him, turn him both ways, first in wide circles and grandually decrease their size. Then again as one with hip arthritis, I too am reluctant to pivot to the left. |
