We Are an Official AKC Fit Dog Club

We Are an Official AKC Fit Dog Club

competition training for obedience, rally, upland hunt tests, earth dog, barn hunt, dog fitness

A good fitness program combined with an appropriate diet are keys to health, longevity and the ability to be competitive in the many sports we successfully compete in.

My dogs are competitive in the Conformation ring, Rally, Obedience, Lure Coursing, Fast Cat, Barn Hunt, Earth Dog, Upland hunting and Dock Diving.
I believe that a good part of the success in the training for these events and the competitions comes from my dogs being on a proper diet and fitness program; giving them a competitive edge and the ability to go all day.

We offer tailored fitness programs for companion dogs, competition hopefuls and competitors.
