Dog Cross Fit Training
The Plan with results
Our dog Cross Fit training programs are a blend of balance, flexibility, endurance and strength that can be tailored to specific conditioning goals, modified for different activities, and adapted throughout the life of your dog. Dogs can, therefore, reach a better physical and optimal condition to perform longer. In addition, it is another form of training where owners and dogs can enjoy being together.
Canine Balance will set up balance, strength and endurance programs through positive reinforcement with simple equipment that is lying around the house. Flexibility is vital to your dog’s longevity and Canine Balance can teach you suitable exercises within your dog's comfort level to achieve the results you need. It should be done after events and training and will bring a huge and positive experience to the ailment of dogs.
Before dogs begin their physical regimen, they should first be checked and assessed by a veterinarian or qualified therapist. This is because each dog has its own unique standard for activity, fitness and body conditioning. Moreover, it will clearly evaluate the present level of fitness of your dog.

Standard training is not enough for sports dogs
Our clients, fellow competitors and also from Facebook dog sports groups, regularly see their “best dog” out on the sideline for the next event due to injury. We also regularly hear “their dog is bred to do these sports”, or how “well-conditioned” their sports dog is because of off-leash play, runs, walks, swimming and specific sport skill training several days a week.
While these activities are all beneficial, they will not address specific cross-fit training activities needed to strengthen under-used supporting muscle groups. These muscle groups and tendons help to support the joints in lateral motion (side-to-side). Often the small muscles do the hardest work.
Unfortunately, a high percentage of people train their dogs to go forward even though dog sports require a large portion of side-to-side movement.
Contact UsHow is this relevant to your dog?
Let's look at a few scenarios.
All these scenarios require the use of muscles that support lateral (side to side) movement. Unfortunately to dog sport enthusiasts, this is the most under recognised muscle function needed in most performance sports today. Iliopsoas, shoulder and knee issues often occur from lateral instability.
Dogs often rely on large muscle groups while not engaging the smaller muscles that help to support the joints and assist in powerful movement. When a dog relies mostly on large muscles groups it causes muscle imbalance that lends to compensations, weakness and eventually to injury.
