Sports & Working Dogs
Sports dogs are athletes, and just like human athletes, they need structured conditioning to perform at their best and stay injury-free. Whether your dog competes in agility, flyball, hoopers, or another high-impact sport, their body undergoes significant physical stress. Without proper conditioning, the risk of muscle imbalances, joint strain, and long-term injuries increases dramatically.
A tailored conditioning program strengthens muscles, improves flexibility, enhances coordination, and ensures balanced movement, helping your dog build resilience and longevity in their sport. It’s not just about performance—it’s about keeping your dog active, happy, and healthy for as long as possible. Investing in conditioning isn’t a luxury; it’s an essential part of responsible sports dog care.
“The service Tracey provides, and the help she has given Cooper over time has given him a much better quality of life as he starts his double figure life. Highly recommend is still so short of the way I actually feel knowing I have my best friend back wanting to do things with me again, and I’m forever thankful that somebody actually cares about my dog instead of fobbing me off”
