As of this writing, I am not aware of any quantitative research done or being done on the impact of anti-fatigue mats in dog sports; for canines or the handlers. The research that has been done has relied heavily on human perception and the participant’s individual experience. Since our dogs can’t use words to share their experiences, we have to interpret their experiences for them by observation and asking questions. Do they gravitate towards the mats and want to play on it? Do they slip when jumping and turning? Examine your dogs paws. Do you see pad burn? How have their times improved? Only you can answer these questions for your dog.
