If your dog is struggling to keep the bars up, we always suggest making sure your dog is physically okay first. Perhaps they need a check up from the vet or an adjustment from an osteopath or chiropractor.
Dogs tend to knock bars for many different reasons so the first step is to work out what might be causing the dropped bars. Check out these bar knocking solution tips from Janita. We also have a webinar on bar knocking that can be found here.
