Sparky, my parents dog, has been a good therapy dog and exercise dog for me since 2008. This is a photo of Sparky looking for his ball at Fiesta Island in San Diego, CA. Sparky is known for loving two things; eating and playing fetch. He loves his ball. He knows where it is at all times.
I have learned from time to time with him to throw with my affected hand/arm instead as opposed to my non affected hand/arm. I believe that this has given me some recognition to use my affected hand and arm. I am happy to do this and create new strategies for myself to grow.
Advice:
If you have a dog like Sparky use that to your advantage and every now and then use your affected hand and arm, like me to play fetch or pool fetch. This will give your dog great exercise and it will also give you great exercise plus you are identifying new and great ways to find a way to improve the affected hand/arm.
