A targeted fitness program
along with proper nutrition, will empower your dog to overcome physical challenges faster, heal quicker, and experience far less daily stress.
Fitness for
Adult Dogs
Did you know that up to 50% of pets are inactive for almost 8-10 hours a day! Pet dogs benefit from exercises that keep them functionally fit which helps them in so many ways: 1. Decreases the risk of the “weekend warrior” injuries 2. Maintains optimal body weight, strength, body awareness & flexibility 3. Slows the cognitive and physical decline with aging 4. Improves immune function and overall health
Fitness and Vitality for Senior Dogs
As our dogs step into their senior years, changes in mobility, cognitive sharpness, and overall vitality show natural declines. For retired working and performance dogs, this sudden shift in pace can lead to boredom and frustration without new outlets. A specialized senior fitness program isn't about high-intensity workouts—it is about preserving their independence. By focusing on targeted, low-impact movements, the goal is to minimize muscle atrophy, boost mental engagement and cognition, and improve their strength for daily activities. Help your faithful companion stay comfortable, confident, and mobile throughout their golden years.
Custom Fitness Programs
Mental Challenges:
Keeping your dog's mind sharp, engaged,
and fulfilled
Balance: Enhancing core stability and body coordination.
Cardiorespiratory Health: Boosting endurance, stamina, and heart health.
Puppy Fitness Programs
While physical exercise and mental release are critical for a developing puppy, repetitive impact and unguided play pose a risk to their open growth plates (which do not close until roughly 12 months of age, depending on the breed). My specialized Puppy Fitness Programs bridge the gap between necessary activity and structural safety. I will introduce age-appropriate skills and foundational exercises designed to build balance, body awareness, and mental confidence without compromising your dog's skeletal health. Invest in a safe fitness foundation today to protect their competitive edge and wellness for life. Benefits of a Fitness Program for Puppies: 1. Improved flexibility, body awareness, balance, coordination and muscle tone 2. Improved focus and impulse control 3. Strengthen your bond with your puppy!
Protecting Your Athlete: Fitness Foundations for Working & Sporting Dogs
High-drive working and sporting dogs are natural athletes—they will power through intense workouts and challenging environments without hesitation. But because they are so driven, they often mask their physical limits. It is not unusual that a Fitness Assessment reveals weaknesses or imbalances. Over time, missing those foundational gaps can lead to sudden injuries or chronic, long-term wear and tear. My comprehensive fitness programs are designed to target those weakness, enhance your dog's foundational fitness baseline, and give them the support they need to thrive.
Custom fitness programs are built around the 5 Core Pillars of Canine Health:
Muscular Strength:
Building power and supporting healthy
joints.
Flexibility: Maintaining a full, fluid, and pain-free range of motion.
About Fitness Programs
FIRST VISIT - FITNESS ASSESSMENT
The goal of the first assessment is to have fun, get to know your dog, and determine your dog's fitness level.
The initial assessment will include:
*measurements
*cardiorespiratory -aerobic testing
*equipment testing (how does your dog adapt to balance pads, inflatable peanuts etc...)
*photos
This will allow me to:
1. Establish a baseline of your dog's strength, balance, body awareness, flexibility and aerobic conditioning.
2. Help determine your dog's understanding of cues & behaviors.
It will take approximately 2 hours and may be split into two visits.
