As a certified canine fitness instructor, I love helping dogs master the flashy exercises that not only look impressive but are built on solid form and function. In Fit Dog Level 2, I focus on precision, strength, and safe progression—bringing energy and detail to every session so both dog and handler feel confident and accomplished.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Michelle Shadwick
Hi, I’m Michelle, a Certified Canine Athlete Specialist, AKC Fit Dog Instructor, and Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with over a decade of hands-on experience training dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I specialize in canine fitness and conditioning, with a background working with everything from energetic sport dogs to beloved senior pets. My mission is to help everyday dog owners understand the "why" and "how" behind keeping their dogs fit, healthy, and injury-free—starting with simple, safe exercises anyone can do.
As an educator, I believe learning should feel approachable and empowering—not overwhelming. I love breaking down canine fitness into clear, actionable steps that build your confidence and your dog’s skills at the same time. Whether I’m teaching in-person or online, I always aim to make training fun, supportive, and rooted in science-backed methods.
I’m so excited to welcome you to this class and help you continue your dog’s fitness journey. Let’s build a stronger, healthier bond—one paw at a time!
