OPTIMA's Canine Fitness Classes are held in a 6-week block attendance course with 45-minute sessions. The course hosts 3-4 dogs at a time.
We're deeply passionate about dog fitness and overall well-being and believe baseline fitness is essential for all dogs, especially those involved in a dog sport. We also believe that fitness should be fun and available to all dogs regardless of age, fitness level, ability or strength.
Key Benefits of Canine Fitness Classes:
Improved Physical Health
Regular exercise helps dogs maintain a healthy weight, strengthens muscles, and improves cardiovascular health. Fitness classes provide structured activities to ensure balanced, safe exercise.
Injury Prevention
Fitness classes often focus on strength, flexibility, and endurance, reducing the risk of injuries, particularly for active or working dogs.
Mental Stimulation
Engaging in new activities and environments helps reduce boredom and anxiety, providing mental stimulation and improving a dog’s overall well-being.
Rehabilitation Support
For dogs recovering from injury or surgery, fitness classes can aid in a safe recovery, gradually improving strength and mobility under supervision.
Socialisation
Group fitness classes give dogs the opportunity to interact with other dogs in a controlled environment, improving their social skills.
Bonding with Owners
Participating in fitness classes can strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners, as they work together in a structured, goal-oriented environment.
Tailored Exercises
Classes can be customised to suit a dog’s age, breed, and fitness level, addressing specific needs like agility, endurance, or muscle strength.
