Dog Health and Nutrition

Welcome to my dog health and nutrition program!
I work on a whole-dog approach, blending exercise, training, and behaviour to improve your dog’s mental and physical well-being.

I focus on nutrition and exercises that lift dog health—think physical stability, confidence, strength, awareness, coordination, flexibility, and most importantly – FUN! It’s tailored to what your dog needs to thrive.
 

It’s unique and created for every dog of all ages – growing puppies gaining confidence, adults maintaining focus and fun, over-excitable dogs learning to slow down and finding their calm, or special seniors staying sharp and mobile. Whether your dog bounds with energy or takes life slow, this program will suit them perfectly.

Why health and nutrition matter

This isn’t just about food or a quick workout. This program works towards improving your dog’s physical condition, mental abilities, and emotional balance. It’s a step beyond the basics, targeting what keeps them feeling great.

How I make it work:

  • Build a strong base with exercises tailored to your dog’s life stage and ability—puppies start steady, seniors keep moving.
  • Help older dogs move more easily with low-impact activities backed by canine mobility research—gentle steps make a big difference.
  • Support joints with targeted exercises based on vet-approved principles—no strain, just strength, balance, and coordination.
  • Channel your dog’s energy into positive outlets like structured play or simple tasks—fun ways to burn off steam.
  • Guide high-energy dogs by turning overwhelming excitement into calmer focus – balance games or slow tasks help with some behavioural challenges.
  • Improve focus and confidence with routines that help anxiety or hyperactivity using positive reinforcement.
  • Address weight concerns with gentle cardio and muscle-building to lighten joint strain—steady progress for better dog health.
  • Keep your senior dog’s mind active with tasks that support cognitive health as they age.
  • Build your dog’s confidence with fun, achievable challenges you tackle together.

Every piece ties together. They’re fun and build trust and teamwork, strengthening your relationship.

On the nutrition side, I create plans based on your dog’s weight, age, activity level, and unique needs – calories and nutrients included. Puppies get fuel for growth. Active dogs get energy for their lifestyle. Seniors get support for aging. Special conditions, like allergies or digestive issues, get tailored adjustments backed by canine nutrition research. Good food supports their immune system, keeps their weight balanced, fuels their energy, and shines up their coat – lifting dog health from the inside out. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s what your individual dog needs.

Getting started

Start by filling out the quick Health and Nutrition Evaluation Form below.It gives me a clear picture of your dog’s needs.

We’ll chat about their daily routine and current state – behaviour, movement, joints, energy levels – to tailor the plan just for them. During sessions, I observe your dog closely, adjusting as we go to fit their unique needs. I bring practical training steps to work toward your goals, with homework to keep progress rolling between visits.

This program lifts your dog’s physical and emotional well-being with low-impact exercises and custom nutrition. It’s not vet care – it’s a teammate alongside it. I team up with clinics to weave in any recommendations they suggest if needed, so your dog gets a plan that’s just right for them—built for today and tomorrow..
