About Canine Fitness

The practice of canine fitness utilizes exercises specific to canine movement to increase strength, balance, proprioception, flexibility, mental stimulation, and cardiovascular endurance. Through the use of targeted exercises and specialized equipment, we can help dogs reach their full physical potential. From canine athletes competing in high level sports to family pets who enjoy long walks and playtime, canine fitness can improve the health and wellness of all our canine companions.

Is fitness right for my dog?

Fitness can be incredibly beneficial for a wide variety of dogs. Have your noticed your senior dog losing stamina on walks or having a harder time getting in the car? Is your young adult dog clumsy and rambunctious seemingly lacking all body awareness? Do you have a competition dog that you are wanting to keep in tip top shape?

Canine fitness is about keeping our dogs active, healthy, and enjoying their favorite activities safely for as long as possible. Canine fitness can also be incredibly helpful for dogs medically recovered from an injury who need to rebuild muscle and strength before they can safely resume peak activity.
