After being sent so many awesome videos, thought I’d do a little thread on dog gait. #dog #caninescience #caninebiomechanics ...
The slowest gait is the walk. Rogue here is doing a ‘normal mammal’ type walk. Back Left -> Front Left -> Back Right -> Front Right, footfalls evenly spaced in time.
I say ‘normal mammal’ as this is what the average horse-like mammal does. Slow/small/cold things (think hippo/mouse/crocodile) do a different walk. And primates when moving as quadrupeds do something different again.
