A mobile practice for dogs

Your dog is most comfortable at home – so the purpose of a mobile practice is to make life easy for both you and your dog.  I can see your dog’s normal living environment and suggest adjustments for their comfort.  I aim to make fitness and rehab exercises easy to do with minimal equipment so the exercises are achievable for busy dog families.
