This clever walking aid works with your dog's natural stride, using elastic straps to gently propel the hindlimb forward with each step — reducing paw dragging, preventing knuckling, and helping your dog move with greater confidence and coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike a support harness, the Biko Brace is a \u003cstrong\u003egait correction and training device\u003c\/strong\u003e. It attaches to a standard chest harness (not included) and works by harnessing the momentum of each stride. As your dog's hind paw reaches the end of its step, the elastic strap pulls it cleanly forward — encouraging proper movement patterns and helping retrain muscle memory over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brace is fully adjustable and fits most dogs, with sizing based on two simple measurements (harness ring to front of metatarsus, and metatarsus circumference). It's best used alongside physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for optimal results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces paw dragging and knuckling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages correct hindlimb movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps retrain coordination and muscle strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple to fit and adjust at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for dogs with DM, ataxia, IVDD and post-op recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: the Biko Brace is made to order with a delivery time of approximately one week.
