About
Our AKC Fit Dog Level 1 Online Course uses luring and shaping to train strength, flexibility, cardio and body awareness. Get your Fit Dog title points! Activities include warm ups, cool down, paw targeting, balance, cavalettis, stretches, strength and cardio training. You'll have a happier, healthier dog while earning points toward any AKC Fit Dog Title and access to a community of other dog enthusiasts and handlers. This course is tailored specifically for beginner dogs over 6 months old. With a focus on building strength, balance and flexibility your dog will engage in fun and effective exercises to improve overall fitness and confidence. Warm up and cool down tips and suggestions are included with each chapter. This is a self paced course where you work through one chapter's challenges every week. Each video tutorial and written "lecture" details proper form, prop set up, reward placement, troubleshooting tips and explains the purpose of each activity. By the end of each week, you should know what activities to work on, how to do them and why we do them this way. You're encouraged to show your instructor a video of some of your sessions as you work through the material. Even though this is designed to work at your own pace, please send me a video with updates on how you're doing with each exercise. I'm still going to help you track your progress, give out gold stars, and give suggestions to improve reward placement and prop set up. We can't wait for you to start on your fitness journey with us! See you soon!
