What is Canine Fitness?
- Are you looking for a fun activity to do with your dog that builds upon the bond you have with them?
- Perhaps you’re looking to reduce the risk of injury to your sport dog.
- Or maybe you’re looking to keep your senior dog mobile in their golden years or build your new puppy’s confidence?
If so, then Canine Fitness Training is for you and your dog!
Fitness programs are different from canine rehabilitation. A fitness and conditioning program is suitable for healthy dogs. Rehabilitation is necessary for dogs recovering from an illness or injury. Often dogs who have completed rehabilitation will move on to a fitness and conditioning program. This is an area where a Canine Conditioning Coach can collaborate with your dog’s medical team to design a targeted strength and conditioning program for you to continue at home.
We all want what’s best for our pets to live the best quality of life for as long as possible. Canine Fitness Training focuses on building Strength, Flexibility, Balance, Cardiorespiratory and Mental Endurance. Fitness should be fun and safe. Not all exercises are safe for every dog, so it’s essential to consult a certified Canine Fitness Coach for customized help in targeting your dog’s individual needs. Think Personal Trainer for your dog.
When dogs exhibit poor postural adaptations, movement inefficiencies, muscular imbalances, and joint restrictions, the likelihood of injury increases. We know how hard it can be to get enough exercise for ourselves, let alone our dogs. It can be even harder to know where to start, especially when it comes to doing canine fitness correctly. This is where we can help.
During a group or individual session, we’ll work with you to determine your goals. Then, we’ll design a customized fitness program based on your goals and teach you how to safely perform the exercises with your dog.
