This class will introduce you to basic conditioning principles, as well as teach you lots different exercises that you can work on with your dog to build strength, flexibility, body awareness, and confidence.

And dogs love this stuff!!  They get lots of treats while learning new tricks!

You don't need lots of expensive equipment or a large space. Just a few minutes 3-4 times a week will help your dog stay entertained and healthy.
