With so much on offer, do ensure you pounce early and book the sessions you fancy on the day.

Her main goal is to enable you and your dog to stay strong, mobile and flexible for all those glorious dog walks ahead.

Enticing with doggy treats, this a simple and playful exercise. Imagine holding your dog treat in one hand and looping your dog through your legs, side stepping to some 80’s upbeat aerobics tunes. Circling, walking back and first. Even some basic floor work.
