Canine Conditioning...

What is Canine Conditioning?

Canine Conditioning is a training programme based on scientific research that has been designed to develop core strength, rebalance the canine body and improve their movement through correct muscle recruitment. This in turn reduces the risk of injury and improves performance in both sports and everyday life.

Bryony is a qualified, licensed coach for the Canine Conditioning Academy (CCA). The CCA Programme uses specific, targeted and measurable exercises that are designed to strengthen dogs core, improving flexibility, stability, balance and proprioception (body awareness).


What will it do?

There are 3 levels of training, Foundation, Intermediate & Advanced. All dogs start with the Foundation course – tailored to each individual dog:

Your dog will be fitter, faster and more confident after just 8 weeks!


How does it work?

Your dog will be assessed for imbalances and muscle measurements recorded so you can track the progress. You will learn fun new ways to train with your dog that will keep them (and you) entertained! Classes of up to 4, or 1-to-1 classes in person/online.

On successful completion of Foundation, you will be invited to go on to Intermediate & Advanced courses to further improve your dogs fitness if you wish.

These courses are suitable for all dogs based on scientific research

Exercises are adapted to suit the individual, with minimal equipment required.

We do not use or advocate the use of instability equipment.

"After our rambunctious Labrador Fred tore his TFL muscle, it was strongly advised that we sign up to a canine conditioning course to address the imbalances he had in his muscles and to strengthen his non-existent core. We worked with Bryony over several weeks and were amazed at her ability to explain complex things in a simple way, both verbally and practically. Fred gives everything 150%, has zero finesse and gets frustrated very quickly, Bryony was able to adjust everything accordingly to work with the dog (and owners) she had in front of her. We were supported both in person and over WhatsApp meaning we could easily check if we were doing things right, and under her guidance Fred’s muscle tone evened out and increased, and his posture improved significantly. Every session was good fun, and we are looking forward to continuing the exercises and progressing to the advanced course."

"I cannot recommend this programme enough. Through completing the canine conditioning foundation programme, Walter Woof got over his surgery and was left with no ill effects after having major abdominal surgery at only 6 months old. I truly believe we would have had a lot more physical and mobility issues with him had we not embarked on this programme. "
