Fitness, Conditioning & the Canine Gym

Is your dog fit enough to carry out the exercise you require of it without any ill effects? Whether you have a family pet or competition dog Hydropaws can design a fitness program for your dog.

Fitness programs involve the use of the underwater treadmill which is low impact and great for improving cardiovascular fitness as well as exercises in the canine gym.

There has been a great increase in the numbers participating in dog sports over the last decade.  Our aim is to enable every canine athlete to reach their full potential enabling them to avoid common injuries.

Cross training is as important for the canine athlete as it is for humans and at Hydropaws we have a number of exercises for improving balance, strength and flexibility. The types of exercises depend on the dogs current status and the goals of therapy and are used to preserve range of motion and muscle mass, challenge healing tissue during recovery, develop balance and co-ordination increasing limb usage and decreasing the chances of re-injury.  Exercises include the use of cavaletti, theraballs, and agility equipment.
