WOW, thank you so much gemy for sharing about the exercise!!!!
Heidi was diagnosed a few weeks ago with LP. It doesn't give her any problems, but I was afraid for her to do her normal trick things like sitting up begging, bowing, walking backwards, etc. because I was afraid it might be harder on her knees. She's going to be a happy girl, she loves doing her tricks and now I love knowing its good for her.

I'm going to check out the Cosequine too. So glad I saw this thread.
As I always, I appreciate the invaluable information I learn on here that I never hear anywhere else.

Is there anything specific besides jumping that is better for a dog with LP to NOT do? (She can be wild about jumping, but I'm trying to get her to stop. Today she got excited, made a fast long jump to get on the sofa, did a twist in the air, pushed her back legs against the back of the sofa into another jump. Looked like a little donkey - all in the speed of light before you can get a word out for her to calm down.
