What is Canine Fitness exactly?

It is a joint activity with your dog that reaps many benefits.

1. Increases proprioception and posture

2. Improves weight distribution

3. Improves muscle mass and muscle tone

4. Increases flexibility

5. Increase tolerance in handling and comfort with their environment.

6. Increases the dog’s confidence level and problem-solving abilities.

7. Fitness may prevent injury from daily activities such as hiking, canine sports, and daily living.

8. Provides the dog with a mental workout – besides the physical aspect of engaging in fitness.

• Those who enjoy learning new things with their dog for fun and a better relationship.

• Clients that would like alternative options to daily dog walks.
