I come to you! No need to travel, I train with you right out of your home or local area. This allows us to maximize your dog's comfort and shows the clearest image for how your dog moves. In-home lessons also help us to maximize your home equipment and routine to discover how fitness fits best into your lives!
It is important to meet the goals of both the dog and the handler! I spend substantial time analyzing your dog's posture and movement to create a program that intersects with your dog's needs and your goals. Whether it's jumping higher, hiking further, or still climbing into bed, we can make a plan for you!
Questions may come up between lessons and we are here to help! I am available for questions and video review between lessons. In fact, I love receiving and reviewing videos for feedback! Clients will always receive videos from their lessons for reference.
By call, email, text, or other platform, let's connect about your dog's needs and how I can meet them! During this initial contact we can assess what sort of program is appropriate for your dog.
Since I come to you, we will schedule at a time that works you! You will receive an appointment reminder 24 hours before our lesson.
This first lesson will take slightly longer than subsequent lessons at around 1.5-2 hours. This lesson will include a lot of gait and posture assessment in addition to the normal work out. We will take many videos and pictures so we can track progress.
The average lesson will last between 1-1.5 hours. We will work on 3-5 exercises and record videos for your reference. In general we will schedule lessons about 2 weeks apart to allow time for your dog to gain strength.
In the time between lessons you will do your dog's workout 3-5 times per week. You will have access to an online folder that will have your custom workout with notes and videos from our session. Access to this folder does not expire even when your package is complete.
It is always great to receive videos from clients for review between lessons. A week after our lesson I will reach out to see how things are going and review any videos you've taken. This is a great place to change course if we need to adjust something.
Michael is both a certified Canine Strength and Conditioning Coach and a Guide Dog Mobility Instructor, signifying many years of professional dog handling.
Fitness should be fun and dogs should willingly opt-in. We strive for dogs to enjoy their work outs (and their treats)! I find the intersection of the dog needs and handler goals.
The customer service experience is a top priority! Communication and timeliness are essential to my practice.
Includes gait and posture analysis and online folder of deliverables
Most popular choice! 3 workouts and all the support you'll need to complete them!
For clients who are in for the long haul! 6 workouts and all the follow up services needed for success!
With only a few added steps, virtual lessons have been just as effective as in-home lessons!
This is an 8-10 program giving daily instructions for exercise, rest, and recovery leading up to competition. This is for dogs and handlers with a strong base of fitness that are comfortable executing programs independently. Always available for video review and questions!
These are coming soon! Expect classes for general wellness, movement puzzles, seniors, and beginning to advanced sport foundations!

Shoot me a call or text to start the process! I pride myself on timely communication during our open hours. It is possible to schedule appointments outside of open hours but I do enjoy weekends for hiking and dog sports!
