Description

Custom Canine Fitness Program

Fully Individualized Online Canine Conditioning

A customized 12-week fitness program designed around your dog’s posture, movement, physical abilities, and goals.

Each program draws on evidence-based exercise principles and a detailed review of your dog’s individual needs. You’ll receive structured workouts, step-by-step exercise tutorials, and practical guidance to help you work through the program at home.

How Custom Fitness Programs Work

After purchase, I’ll contact you with an intake form and guidelines for submitting photos and videos of your dog.

Your program begins with a review of your dog’s:

• Health history
• Posture and alignment
• Gait and movement patterns
• Lifestyle and activity demands
• Physical abilities and limitations
• Training goals

These findings guide exercise selection, starting difficulty, and progressions. Your dog’s training experience and behavioral needs also inform the program. Programs are available for dogs across a range of ages and activity levels who are medically suitable for exercise. No previous canine fitness experience is required.

This initial review is included with every program and does not use your exercise video review allowance. It is used to develop your workouts; a formal written assessment report is not included. If you would like a detailed written report, please see the separate Posture & Gait Analysis service.

Programming begins once all required materials have been received. Custom plans are typically delivered within one week of receiving your complete submission.

What’s Included With Every Program

Comprehensive Welcome Package

A digital guide covering canine anatomy and terminology, exercise principles, safety guidelines, and how your positioning and handling can influence your dog’s movement.

Equipment Guidance

For most dogs, I recommend sourcing:

• 1 of Platform
• 2 of Feet Targets

These props provide defined surfaces for foot placement and can support alignment during exercises. Please review the linked guides when choosing equipment.

Program Options and Pricing

Every option includes the same level of individualized programming and all resources listed above. The only difference is the amount of exercise video review included.  

• Custom Program + 5 minutes of video review = $300 CAD
• Custom Program + 30 minutes of video review = $600 CAD
• Custom program + 60 minutes of video review = $900 CAD

How Exercise Video Review Works

Submit videos of your dog performing the assigned exercises to receive personalized feedback on your setup, handler mechanics, and your dog’s posture and movement.

Your total allowance can be divided across submissions throughout the program. Choose 5 minutes for a brief form check or targeted feedback on selected exercises. The 30- and 60-minute options provide more opportunities to review exercises and submit follow-up videos as you work through the program.  Please note that the allotted time is for all videos submitted throughout the program, not individual video duration.

Exercise video review expires 6 months from the purchase date.

Scope and Veterinary Approval

This service provides canine fitness programming and education. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions, or replace veterinary care or rehabilitation.

Dogs with orthopedic or neurological concerns require veterinary approval before participating. If your dog has pain, lameness, an injury, or is recovering from surgery, please consult your veterinarian for exercise guidance.

Program Policies

• Custom programs are non-refundable because they are individually developed for your dog.
• Required photos and videos must be submitted within 3 months of purchase.
