Sports & Fitness Academy
with Rebekah Reynolds

Are you looking for additional enrichment time for your dog during daycare, or interested in potentially trying out canine sports? Or maybe you already have a skilled agility/sport dog and you just want them to get more time on the equipment. We're now offering sports enrichment drop-off training Monday through Wednesday! You can choose between canine fitness, disc, treibball, or agility! And if you want to change up what they are focusing on day-to-day, that’s no problem!

Rebekah Reynolds, one of our amazing instructors will work with your dog individually to introduce them to the sport and work on skills for that sport. We will work with your dog at their level, proofing their current skills and teaching new things! Your instructor will provide you with an outline what was worked on from the session so you can learn right along with your dog. 

Just like with us, dogs can become bored, destructive, anxious, or even depressed without enough exercise and mental stimulation. Also, and again just like us, they can get bored of the same activities even if they're fun. A variety of enrichment activities promote happy, healthy dogs!

We keep group sizes small with a max of 6 dogs per day. So your pooch will get plenty of love, 1-on-1 attention, enrichment and training. 

Make sure to bring with you the dog’s standard 6 ft leash (no retractable leashes), flat collar (no prong collars or correctional collars) and/or harness, if you use that to walk him/her. 

You’ll also want to bring some training treats* you know your dog loves (nothing crumbly or too messy). Additionally, please bring a long-lasting chew (bully stick, no-hide chew, ox tail, etc) or kong/lickimat with some kind of frozen topping (peanut butter, kong spray, etc.) so they have something to do/focus on between turns with the trainer. 

If you regularly feed your dog breakfast in the morning, please skip that meal on days they are being dropped off for this training program so that they are little hungry and excited to work for treats. 

Make sure your dog potties directly before being dropped-off for this program. Dogs will be let outside to potty halfway through the morning by the instructor, but please make sure your dog has done their business recently (1 & 2) before dropping them off with us. This way we spend less time cleaning up accidents and more time with your pooch. 

To be successful in this program, your dog must be comfortable in a crate between their turns with the trainer. Dogs will be worked 1-on-1 with the trainer in short training segments to keep the training engaging and fun while also keeping break times relatively short between dogs. However, it is still important that your dog is not overly-stressed in the crate (some excitement and barking is normal in this stimulating environment) and can use those down-times to catch their breath and relax between working. 

If the morning of training day comes and your pooch appears to be sick and/or injured, it is best to keep them home. Please just notify us as soon as you can that you’ll need to reschedule for the day. 

Age: Dogs must be at least 6 months old in order to participate.

Health Records: All dogs participating in this program must be up to date on the rabies, bordetella and distemper vaccines. 

Release: All dogs in our training programs must have completed a release/intake form, which you can fill out here. If you have previously filled out this form for another training program, you do not need to fill out one again. 

Questionnaire: If you have not previously, please fill out this questionnaire specific to this program so that our trainers can get to know you, your dog and your training goals a bit more.
