Keep your dog active, strong, and healthy with our specialized Canine Conditioning & Fitness programs. Whether your dog is a competitive athlete, a playful puppy, or a beloved senior, we offer tailored sessions to meet their unique needs. All of these sessions are scheduled with our Certified Canine Strengthening and Conditioning Coach.
We believe that consistent training is key. Your dog will be sent home with exercises to practice 3-5 times a week, and we’ll evaluate their progress monthly to adjust their routine as they grow stronger.
Note: For dogs with a history of injuries or surgeries, a referral from your veterinarian specifically for conditioning & fitness is required. Please note that these sessions are for fitness and are not considered rehabilitation. All paperwork should be filled out prior to your dog’s first session.
Initial Conditioning & Fitness Session: $65
The initial session is where it all begins. The first 45 minutes are dedicated to a thorough posture evaluation and a detailed discussion of your dog’s history and goals. The remaining 15 minutes are used to introduce basic foundational fitness exercises or familiarize your dog with our equipment. Visit FitPaws to purchase at home recommended exercises products.
