Prerequisite: Advanced Manners or other obedience class at Redfern

The AKC Fit Dog program is a series of 3 levels of courses for helping to keep you and your dog in top condition. Level 1 is a six-week class designed to increase your dog’s strength and flexibility through exercises that help prevent sport-related injuries. The beginning exercises are excellent for keeping any dog healthy through paying attention to correct posture, balance, strengthening, and flexibility. It is also designed to encourage you to be active with your pup through Redfern Canine’s Fit Dog Club walks and other activities.

Dogs should have completed an Advanced Manners or other obedience class at Redfern. They should be able to focus and work on the exercises with their owner in a class situation without being distracted. Dogs should also be healthy with no issues related to legs, back or neck (or have appropriate written clearances from your vet) to participate.
