Highly recommend Michelle and her wealth of knowledge on canine fitness and conditioning! Friendly and welcoming. Prevent future injuries and promote healthy muscles, ligaments and mindset by getting ahold of her for tips, tricks and her latest seminars!

Ellie & Keller

Active Pet Dog Owners

I think the value Keller and Patty got out of the sessions was the new techniques and bonding.

I truly appreciate all the attention and advice you gave to Keller. He had a great experience and talks a lot to his family about what he learned.

Jazz

Sport dog owner

My scentwork prospect was incredibly nervous at looking at anything exterior. Through the process of conditioning he’s gained a ton of confidence
and is now willing to sniff the random objects I put scents around to see if they are hidden there!

Hi, I’m Michelle, a Certified Canine Athlete Specialist, AKC Fit Dog Instructor, and Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog 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.

Cavalettis are a fan favorite. Students list the cavalettis as their favorite exercise on class surveys, which inspired me to create this course.
