Canine Fitness

At Stride we understand that fit dogs have better quality of life, less pain and increased longevity.

Cross training is an ideal way to help boost your dog’s overall wellness and health. A dedicated fitness program moves beyond the neighborhood leash walk, past the repetitive game of fetch and through the haphazard play sessions at the dog park. It is the ideal way to be sure your dog is functioning at their peak through all stages of life and for every adventure that awaits them. .

It might seem like dogs are preprogrammed to perform astronomical feats of athleticism but that is a far cry from reality.  Like their human counterparts, they have varying degrees of athleticism and are prone to overuse injury when chronically pushed to fatigue or when participating in weekend warrior adventures.

We offer individual fitness assessments, personalized programs and group classes for every healthy dog.


Using specific equipment and a positive reinforcement approach, you and your dog will learn the necessary skills to build:

  • Strength
  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Body Awareness

From the high caliber sporting dog, to the professional shrub sniffer, every dog can benefit from  a dedicated exercise program that supports the activities they love to do.

All we need to get started is a veterinary exam and referral within the previous 6 months or a musculoskeletal evaluation done here at Stride!
