Canine Fitness

Dog ActivitiesIntermediate & Advanced Training

Canine Fitness

Targeting a hind leg to an object creates hind end awareness in dogs.

This lesson series will help dogs (all ages) with coordination, balance, and building muscle in under used areas of their bodies.  It’s also a great opportunity for helping dogs learn to interact with objects and develop strengths (or maintain strengths if they are elder dogs) so they can navigate running through the woods or even have fun on an agility field (while minimizing injuries).  By the end of the class, you’ll have a short routine of exercises to complete with your dog before hiking or any other form of more demanding exercise.

The suggested length is four weeks/four lessons for each level.  Canine Fitness I is 4 weeks long and Canine Fitness II is 4 weeks long.

Prerequisites:  Previous training experience is needed – please contact us to make sure you qualify before registering.  Canine Fitness I (or equivalent) must be completed before taking Canine Fitness II.

**We also require a veterinarian’s approval for the class indicating your dog is in good physical health and will benefit from the class exercises .  Please contact us if you would like a recommendation for a veterinarian who is familiar with this class.**
