Why should your dog enter a fitness program?

​

The fastest and most effective way to achieve complete health at any age or stage of life is through a specially tailored fitness plan. A good canine exercise program includes five components: Balance, Strength, Flexibility, Endurance or Cardio Fitness and Mental Challenges.

​

Young dogs will improve body awareness (i.e. they learn they have four feet) and old dogs will maintain mobility.  Even athletic dogs that are competing need a good all around conditioning program to help prevent injuries.

​

Getting Started:

​

Before starting a conditioning program, your dog will need to come in for an evaluation to determine their starting condition and so we can design a program specifically for your dog.  We will be checking gait, pulse, respiratory, measuring muscle mass, testing range of motion, and gathering multiple other details so we can design a program that is best for your dog.

​

To test for the dog's appropriate level, they will need to be able to do the following cues on command:

  1. Sit

  2. Down

  3. Stand

  4. Target the Hand                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Once we have determined the appropriate level and assigned the exercises, you will be given a schedule to  be done daily.  You are not doing every exercise every day. Just like with us, the muscles need time to rebuild after exertion. 

​

When we have enough dogs evaluated and have designed an exercise program for them, then we will schedule a class time for everyone to come and use the exercise equipment.  We will have a training exercise circuit and each dog will do its assigned exercise on the equipment.
