Fitness and conditioning programs can take place in the pool or in Hero's fitness shed.
Working on obtaining Certification as a Canine Athlete Specialist, I am excited to be able to offer individual fitness and conditioning programs, using not just gym equipment!
We have installed fitness equipment at our Canine Centre located in Hero’s shed, offering a separate area indoors with minimal distractions, allowing your dog to remain focused on the task they are working on. Fitness is not only a fun activity for your dog, but also provides many health benefits. Supporting mobility, strength and muscle growth, building confidence, trust and respect for both people and themselves.
What's in Hero's shed? Bosu Ball, Wobble Board, Tunnel, Stability/Balance Ball and much more.
Yes. High energy is a good trait for dogs who participate in fitness. We sometimes forget that our dogs not only have physical energy but also mental energy. By having your dog thinking about where they are placing their feet and positioning their body, works to relieve both physical and mental energy.
It is also good for the hard to motivate dog, as the success of accomplishing the activity is very motivating for the dog.
