AKC Fit Dog Training

Keep yourself and your dog in FIT condition 

for daily life and active dog sports.  

Happy Hearts FDT offers training options and plans to help YOU help your dog get to a healthy weight and develop muscle, balance and the body and brain connection.

I am an AKC Certified FIT Dog Trainer.  I also workout at the Middleton Fire Department as a Rehab Tech and Entry Level Firefighter.  My dogs, Taylor and Oakley, are FitBark users and Taylor is a participant in the Dog Aging Project.  I have successfully helped several dogs reduce weight over time and regain their playful pain-free energy levels again.

AKC offers FIT Dog titles to give you a goal as you work alongside your dog getting healthy.  Exercising together benefits the bond between you, while you both improve your cardio, circulation, balance, weight loss, stress reduction, and sleep.  This makes all of us less prone to illness and injury.

"Active dogs tend to be more engaged, less anxious, and sharper mentally," according to a Dog Activity Statistics article in the Canine Journal (1).  It goes on to state, "Dogs maintaining a lean body weight from puppyhood onward live nearly two years longer than their overweight counterparts."  

Let's connect and get your dog to a healthier place.  How much do those 2 extra years mean for you and your dog?
