Canine Fitness Training

Putting the FIT in Fitnacity Dog Training!

What is Canine Fitness?

Canine Fitness Training is the process of learning conditioning and strength training exercises that can benefit the health and quality of life for your dog. As a Certified Professional Canine Fitness Trainer (CPCFT), Lela has completed coursework and case studies on anatomy, structure and how to properly teach fitness exercises.

Through learning proper form and exercises we can help to build muscle, balance, body awareness, and enhance mobility and performance.

Lela cannot treat or diagnose any injuries or provide rehabilitation. Dogs with prior injuries must be cleared by their veterinarian to participate in fitness. The goal is to compliment regular veterinary care and provide education so you can notice areas of concern early.
