Basic at home 6 Week Canine Fitness Plan. This plan was developed specifically for your dog after an initial consultation to determine you and your dog's fitness level and goals. It will be updated in two week intervals, but does not include any progress tracking and developed as an "at home, self-study" guide. If questions arise I am always happy to help and answer them.
This option is used for Initial Consultation or an Assessment of your pet to determine if Fitness or Physical Rehabilitation is needed for your pet. We will take photos, measurements (circumference and range of motion of joints) and develop a treatment plan. The treatment plan with my recommendations will then be emailed to you.
Does your dog love to sniff everything in sight? Turn that natural instinct into a rewarding skill with our Scentwork Class!
