    3 months INTRODUCTION package

    Initial consultation session [90-120min] +
    2 conditioning sessions [45min/session]

    This INTRODUCTION package is ideal for for dog/handler teams who are new to canine fitness and conditioning. This package is also appropriate for dog/handler teams who are looking to returning to performance/work after time off and/or injuries (must provide written veterinarian clearance), or those who intend to resume a regular fitness & conditioning routine.

    The initial consultation includes including a review of your dog’s history and needs, an assessment of your dog’s structure, posture, static and dynamic balance, gait analysis, and an evaluation of your dog’s strengths and weaknesses. Conditioning exercises will be tailored to fit you and your dog’s lifestyle and goals. Safe and effective exercises will be introduced, as well as the discussion of the use of appropriate equipment.

    The 2 subsequent conditioning sessions aim to help dog/handler teams introduce new skills, evaluate progress, with the ultimate goal of incorporating conditioning exercises as part of the daily routine for sustained fitness improvement.

    For maximum benefit of the INTRODUCTION package, appointments should be booked every 2-4 weeks.

    * Must be used within 3 months from the date of the initial consultation session.
