What is this?
Guest Speaker Kathy Lesinski
Canine conditioning begins with learning to assess your dog’s overall physical condition. Participants will learn how to improve each individual dog’s fitness levels through simple foundation exercises. Canine conditioning enhances all life stages of your dog. It brings body awareness and self-confidence to puppies and young dogs along with maintaining muscle tone with older dogs. It also can improve the bond with your dog and provide mental stimulation.
Bring your dog and join the fun!
