Fido Fitness Foundations

I’ve been a human massage therapist for about 30 years. I eventually transitioned over to canine massage and have since become a Canine Fitness Trainer. Caring for my own dogs – a rescued Border Collie who has a permanent hind leg injury and my long-backed half-Corgi dog – were the reasons for getting my certification.

A conditioning program won’t prevent your dog from getting injured. What conditioning will do is add a layer of strength and flexibility so that your dog is less inclined to injury and, when injured, will heal faster.

Conditioning Provides

• An alternative to outdoor sports in bad weather
• Exercise helps keep the dog mentally engaged
• Reinforcement for all types of training
• Creates a stronger bond with the handler 
• If injured, they will already know the equipment and exercises
