Physical Conditioning

Our program helps to build strength, coordination, confidence, intelligence, flexibility, and mental focus in a sustainable manner – and conditioned dogs perform better with fewer occurrences of injuries. It isn't just for athletic or working dogs; but a great total workout for dogs of all ages and fitness levels.

Healthy dogs not only enjoy a slower onset of physical and cognitive deterioration associated with aging, they also display more youthful characteristics. From decreased body weight and fat stores, to greater muscle strength, improved organ function, less stress and improved mental health, the benefits of an active lifestyle are hard to dispute.

Typical Applications

Sporting dogs that look to build strength and flexibility for performance
Sensory and textural exposure for young pups to build confidence
To complement training activities while promoting mental engagement
Improving deeper muscles that are often neglected in routine walks

Cardiorespiratory

Cardiovascular fitness allows better use and delivery of oxygen to working muscles and tissues.
Balance

Balance fitness prevents injury, improves agility and encourages control of body movements.
Proprioception

Proprioceptive exercises are slow, precise, controlled exercises that either require an awareness of limb position in space and can involve walking over difference surfaces, challenge the body's balance or a combination of all three.
