Fitness is not ALL about weight loss

Carol Penner is a very special lady in our classes.  She is very tiny and has a very tiny dog named Echo.  She began coming to our classes in September 2013.  During her first couple of classes, she was a little frustrated. She was having a hard time figuring out the exercises and getting the movements correct but she hung in there and kept on trying.  Our instructors continued to work with her and teach her the correct way of doing each exercise and pointed out where she should be feeling it in her body.  She continued to come and

Dogs with fear aggression welcome! Chami's Story...

Chami has generalized fear aggression.  There are only a few public places she can go safely, and Leash Your Fitness classes are one of them.  We have tried various other classes in the past with her, but the other dogs or people in some of those classes scared her more than the actual activity was benefiting her.  When we did our first Leash Your Fitness bootcamp class with Dawn, I knew we had found a great program.  The key to Chami’s success:  There are only positive interactions encouraged during training.    Dawn, Kelly, and Naomi do not force dogs to finish the
