Question 1

Question 2

What are Tendiboots™?

Accepted Answer

Tendiboots™ sensors pick up tiny asymmetries, altered weight bearing, and gait changes that handlers and even palpation can easily miss. Catching problems at a micro level lets you intervene before they become costly soft‑tissue injuries or full‑blown lameness, which matters hugely for duty and sport dogs under heavy load.
Tendiboots™ delivers hard numbers on impact forces, stride duration/length/height, and symmetry, then turns them into graphs and easy to analyze data.

Objectivity in the data builds trust between HHWD, handlers/departments/pet owners, making it easier to see why committing to rehab plans, rest periods, or conditioning programs can be of benefit.

We offer you the ability to literally see the changes in your dogs blueprint and data over time.

Question 3

What's My Dogs Digital Blueprint?

Accepted Answer

Your dog's digital blueprint is a thorough Tendiboots™ assessment, data analysis and action plan to improve or correct what we discover.

Tendiboots™ delivers hard numbers on impact forces, stride duration/length/height, imbalances and symmetry. The sensors pick up tiny asymmetries, altered weight bearing and gait changes that can be easily missed by handlers and veternarians.

Providing unbiased data to our clients builds trust. We hope it also helps owners make more informed choices when preparing for a mission, trial, competition, or rehabilitation programs.

Over time, the data will help illustrate why committing to rehab plans, rest periods, and conditioning programs can be of direct benefit to your dog and their performance.

Question 4

What is PEMF? How can it benefit my working/pet dog?

Accepted Answer

At Hocking Hills Working Dogs, we’re pleased to offer a cutting-edge recovery and wellness options for working dogs, performance canines and pets.

WHAT IS PEMF?
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy uses gentle, pulsing electromagnetic fields to support a dog’s body at the cellular level. It is a non-invasive, drug-free modality that helps stimulate circulation, enhance tissue oxygenation, and support natural healing processes.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PEMF FOR MY CANINE?
 • Faster Recovery from Hard Training, Work or Competition
 • Support for Joints, Tendons + Soft Tissues
 • Pain Management + Inflammation Reduction
 • Enhanced Circulation + Overall Wellness

When your dog lies in/on the PEMF jacket or blanket, electromagnetic pulses penetrate tissues — reaching muscles, joints, and deeper structures — which helps the body deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and boosts overall cellular function.
