We are kicking off April with International Canine Fitness Month AND a recent article on Canine Conditioning 🐕💪🏼🏆

▶️ (Click on the link below for the full article)

Let’s focus on keeping our dogs healthy—physically and mentally!

Why it’s important:

▶️Regular exercise helps prevent health issues, maintain a healthy weight, and boosts mental well-being.

How to start:

▶️Walks: Regular strolls for fresh air, smells and exercise.
▶️ Hydrotherapy: swimming, wading through water or underwater treadmill.
▶️Play: Fun activities like hide-n-seek or brain games.
▶️Vet or vet-physio check: Ensure your dog’s ready for exercise and get a tailored routine.

Let’s keep our pups active and happy! 🐶🫶🏼

Puppy conditioning! 💪🏼

These individual classes are for any puppy under the age of 1 year old. 🐾

🩺 These sessions include:
- a full orthopaedic and neurological evaluation
- ⁠desensitisation to routine handling such as teeth cleaning, ear cleaning, eye cleaning, nail trimming, and being touched all over including paws
- ⁠introduction to equipment
- ⁠swimming and water safety

💡 The aim of these sessions is to:
- identify any areas of weakness, potential dysfunction or areas at higher risk of injury
- ⁠implement an appropriate strengthening program to minimise the risk of injury later in life
- ⁠build confidence around new places, people and equipment
- ⁠prepare for future vet or physio visits to make them as stress free and productive as possible
- ⁠teach them to swim and be safe around water, especially pools *summer classes only
- ⁠Q&A with owners to help and educate owners, and set them up for success

These classes can be done as a standalone, single class, or can be implemented as a series of classes, depending on the needs and personality of the puppy! 🐶
