Canine Conditioning with Megan Finch

Service Description

This one-hour workshop introduces you to physiotherapy-based exercises designed to keep your dog moving well, feeling great, and living their healthiest life. Led by qualified veterinary physiotherapist Megan Finch and dog training professional Rachael Henson, you'll learn practical exercises you can do at home to strengthen your dog's body, improve their movement, and set them up for longevity. Why Physiotherapy Matters (For Every Dog): You might think physiotherapy is only for injured or competitive dogs but that's a misconception. A strong, well-conditioned body prevents problems before they start. Early conditioning helps your dog maintain mobility, build core strength, and reduce the risk of pain and injury as they age. Whether your dog is young and energetic or settling into their senior years, these exercises support better movement quality and a happier, more active life. Who This Is For: This class suits any dog owner who wants to understand their dog's movement, prevent age-related decline, or simply give their dog the best chance at a long, pain-free life. Your dog should be 1 year or older and enjoy working through new, engaging challenges with you. They should also be comfortable working in a group setting and being handled by other professionals - if you do not believe your dog will cope well in a group setting please reach out to us for advice on alternative solutions. What You'll Take Away: By the end of the workshop, you'll have practical exercises that improve: Body awareness and balance Coordination and stability Muscle strength and flexibility Overall movement quality The result? A fitter, stronger dog with better resilience against injury and the best foundation for healthy ageing.
