Dog Fitness Training Class
Purpose: The Dog Fitness Training Class is the foundation course and this program will provide the student with the information and skills they need to manage a dog’s unique and ever changing fitness needs {from puppy hood, as a young adult and a Senior} in order to improve overall health, prevent illness & injury and enhance the dog’s ability to recover when crisis happens.
Course Information: The All-Fit Dog program uses a broad, general and inclusive fitness model to enhance overall elements of health using only functional movement exercises and activities as these are mechanically sound and safe for all dogs at all ages. The techniques which achieve optimal fitness in the elite canine athlete will enhance fitness in all dogs – the needs of each dog differ by degree not kind, so we scale exercise volume and intensity NOT requirements. You will be required to demonstrate some exercises by video using a dog to complete this program for credit.
