Canine Fitness
Why Fitness is Important
Obesity affects 54% of dogs in the US, can take 2-3 years off their life, and affects the joints, ligaments, & tendons making it harder to move. It can also cause other health risks like diabetes and heart disease. Fitness helps to keep them at their ideal weight and reduce the risk of certain health issues.
Fitness Benefits
Fitness has a number of different uses that are all beneficial such as;
- improved performance
- injury prevention
- help with rehab after surgery
- reduced digestion problems
- improved sleep quality
Fitness Exercises the Mind
Exercise for dogs help them to live healthier and happier lives. It's not just a physical workout but a mental workout as well. It helps to strengthen behavior, focus, body awareness and confidence.
A Must for Classes
With the exception of puppy fitness, all dogs must have basic obedience to participate. Most Fitness Exercises use basic commands and require them to perform the exercises properly, so basic obedience is a must.
