Through out your search for a helping hand, hope for your dog, you've arrived here.
I'm so glad you did.
DM, (as with all conditions that effect the nervous system) needs a neurological approach to resolve the mobility deficits that your dog is currently experiencing.
As you read the below stories from families such as yourself you'll find a similar thread from desperation to sheer joy.
Every stage of DM is represented here...
With commitment to help you and your dog,

Annie Green - The Boxer Girl
Hi Deb, I went to bed last night feeling very sad and discouraged about Annie ( Boxer with degenerative Myelopathy). Woke up feeling the same way. But we just finished a thirty minute stroll on our street and she only fell one time!! I could tell she was getting tired so we came home. Her...Read more » -

This video comes from my Private Practice. Yet it adds to the story of signs and symptoms of DM. Further it adds to the gains noted by using this neurological technique known to you as Response5. My best to you and to your dog, Debi FamelosRead more » -
Jezzabelle – German Shepherd with DM ~ Video
I cant watch her fall apart and not give her my 110% effort to try and help her. I also have two of her pups and fear their future with the disease as well. I’m begging for advise and direction from anyone with knowledge.Read more » -
Luca - Siberian Husky
I am reporting the results of the 10 Day application of Respnse5 on Luca my 13 year old Siberian Husky. Maybe six months ago I became a ware that something wasn't right. I thought Luca had the beginnings of arthritis in his rear legs. Now I believe it is DM I changed his diet taking him off kibble and giving him meats, vegetables and fish. He went from being in pain and dragging his left foot to a happy energetic dog runnin...Read more » -
David and Bubba (DM)
I think the method seems to be working for Bubba's DM! I am not seeing him cross as much. For me anything that may help is a good thing. Before he was getting caught on the stairs and legs were crossing, he's now able to do the stairs with more ease!Read more » -
Tanner (DM) Treatment Update – Video
It’s been a while since I updated you and I am anxious to share some things! Tanner continues to do well. He can walk for miles, though I generally limit it to a mile several times a week.Read more » -
Brenda and Champ

New update: Re: My Dog Champ with DM. I know my year of assistance from you is coming to an en...Read more » -
Alex, 10 year old Australian Cattle Dog with DM
Recently my 10 yr old Australian cattle dog, Alex, was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy. In two short months he has gone from minimal signs to severe onset of lack of coordination, foot dragging, incontinence and severe head tilt.Read more » -
Eve and Portia
I can't thank you enough for making it possible for myself and all the other people you must have helped with the 5 Steps. Portia's response to the 5 steps has been almost unbelievable. The day following the first session I noticed that there was a change in her footsteps on the wooden floor - the back legs weren't dragging like they had been previously. She was very eager to go out for ...Read more » -
Eve and Portia Update
Thank you yet again for all your wonderful help and advice. We have been using the last pattern for about three weeks now and there has definitely been an improvement, especially with Portia as she is more stable on her rear legs now and jumps into the car without her left leg tending to drag. She is walking really well and has heaps of energy when we go out!Read more » -
Jamie
He improved very noticeably with Response5! More energy, better balance, wants to play with our other dogs, falls less often, more stability going down the stairs, stretches his back legs, just in general looks less stressed in his eyes!Read more » -
Tobi – Stronger and More Stable
Tobi has more energy now. He is “running” at times in his wheelchair on our walks. He appears to be stronger- standing longer, more stable when standing, walking on his own more often, stretching more than he has in the past 3 months.Read more » -
Scott
I felt as though it was more of a stabilizing effect with him ( has DM) as I did not see him get any worse off than what he already was. This in itself made us very happy! I did notice he started to stretch his legs a little bit here and there which was good.Read more » -
Bob and Louise
I’m urging anyone to add this skill to your life! Out of desperation to help our ageing dog with Degenerative Myelopathy, I signed on to Response5. Within 3 weeks my wife and I were seeing noted differences. Better stability, less hesitation walking on the hardwood floors and a definite increase in energy. Debi’s generous support was incredible!Read more »
