CANINE NEUROPARK CHARITY TRUST

Canine NeuroPark ™©2020

Canine NeuroPark is a Rehabilitation Field and a Charitable Trust - simply; THE SAFEST Canine Park around for Physical and Mental rehabilitation or simply for discovery and a zoom for your dog(s).

Canine NeuroPark ™©2020 is a unique, enclosed and locked canine rehabilitation, sensory & cognitive fitness park, in Christchurch, New Zealand, which can be hired by the hour (NZ$12) or half hour (NZ$8).

It is THE SAFE park for any owner wanting to enrich their dog physically & mentally in a calm and safe space. Even better!! The profits form renting out our fitness park will support other Charities which work hard to improve doggie life's by rehoming, treating and researching "Humans Best Friend"

The stations provide specific exercises to support a brains natural abilities, to predict and anticipate its environment, and update discrepancies by integrating incoming sensory information from the world and the body, while helping the body to strengthen and heal. A fancy way of saying:

Anticipating / Moving/ Feeling / Comparing/ Learning / Perceiving

The Physical Side:

We pride ourselves to provide you with the best Physio- & Rehab Therapy, Treatment and advice, by Registered Practitioners from AnimalPhysioNZ and their Registered Associates; for you to use the provided stations at Canine NeuroPark to help your dog to heal and pain to recede. Pain and Illness causes uncertainty and thus changes behaviour.

The Mental Side:

Our "behaviour adjustment" approaches are heavily influenced by contemporary neuroscience; what a brain does matters! A brains constant chemical - electrical excitement and deactivation (inhibition) always represents some idea about the world around it and within its body. Our approaches take those predictive actions of a self-organizing, dynamic system such as a brain into account.

Always bring treats, yes!, but don't be surprised when we tell you to stand back and let your dogs brain work it out; and don't be offended when we tell you to throw all aversive tools and methods out a window.
