I hope you can walk a dog

I've never had a pec minor tenectomy, so I don't know how capable you'll be to walk a dog afterwards (nor what kind of dog/energy level your dog has) however, I do have some advice for you on that front to make it more possible...

I had a 140 lb. aggressive mastiff. Eventually, she needed to be put down because all medications/behavior modification/training failed, but there was one tool I had that made me capable of handling her outside of our home (she was aggressive to any and all strangers) and this was after I had bilateral inferior capsular shifts on my shoulders. Because of this tool, I was able to work with her a little longer and she never bit a person though she tried like hell.

A Halti head collar. It takes all the power out of the dog's body to pull away from you and is very humane and safe. This is coming from someone who has worked as a vet tech. It works far better than any choke chain/pinch collar/anti-pull harness/head collars of other brands. It's affordable and pretty easy to find too. It may help you now with the pain you're having.

Make sure you bring your dog to the store to fit it correctly though. If it's too loose, your dog will be able to scrape it off their nose so ask for help getting the right size. Most pet shops allow animals in the store and the associates should be happy to pull a couple out of the box to help you size it.

I highly recommend it.

ive seen things like that!!!

that is genius

it seems like the pulling is the dangerous part, i agree

I've used many brands of the head collar, and though they all work, the Halti (though a buck or two more expensive) is definitely of a higher quality, more comfortable for the dog, more sturdy, and seems to work much better. Splurge the extra $.

I'm a big dog lover, so anything to help you keep your furry family member comfortable and in the family!

yup i am a dog lover too, i used to walk dogs during college for extra money. i need to have more control over them on a leash anyways, i am not good with dog training lol.



I found this on the internet about p minor

What movements does the pectoralis minor muscle control?

Pushing things away from the body
Push ups
Lifting objects with arms straight in front of the body
Pulls the shoulder and shoulder blade down


pretty much what ive read on here.

i cant do pushups as it is, the muscle is SO tight. I avoid pushing doors with my arms etc, i used my body. and i do not lift anything heavier than 10 lbs which i keep at my side.
