Puppy Fitness Training
Puppy Exercise Program
Our puppy exercise program is designed for those from 8 weeks to 8 months. The exercises featured within are age appropriate, safe for growing bodies and focus on building body awareness and confidence, increasing the value of controlled movement, stillness and precision, which are all critical components for coordination and avoiding injury later on in life. The program will help to take your dog from a blank slate to a confident, body aware dog.
In addition, your puppy will develop a square sit, rear end awareness, as well as proper spinal alignment, which is crucial to their health as they grow and develop.
In each appointment, our therapist will guide you through some massage techniques and we will discuss diet and supplementation, home and exercise modifications and we will answer any questions you have about an exercise program for your puppy. Our goal is to educate you on how you can best help your puppy to live an active and pain-free lifestyle for the many years you will have together!
