Group Classes: Canine Fitness and Conditioning
Why Canine Fitness?
Unlike physical rehabilitation and therapy, our approach focuses on proactively building a strong foundation to prevent injuries and/or the worsening of conditions like hip dysplasia or luxating patella. Exercises are specifically designed to enhance your dog’s strength, flexibility, mobility, and body awareness.
Best of all, these exercises can be easily performed using everyday items found in your own home, without the need for expensive dog-specific equipment.
With our guidance, you can engage your dog in enjoyable and beneficial workouts that promote their overall well-being. A healthy dog is a happy dog so don’t hesitate any longer – enrol in our group classes today!

EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Michelle Tan2026-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best in class trainers to be found here in ATC! We have been sending our high energy puppy Ollie for regular sessions here for over a year now and have noticed an increase in his confidence and fitness levels. Importantly, the team always believed in Ollie’s potential even when sometimes we don’t! Thank you for upholding such high standards of principles and care in this industry❤️ Reiko Tan2026-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to the Puppy Holistic Development course and it really helped me learn how to handle my puppy with confidence! Class size was small so the coaches could come round and offer tailored advice for every pup. I would recommend it to anyone who is finding it hard to manage their puppy or adolescent pup. What I’ve learnt with Pet Coach definitely helped me get through the tough times. Tricia Lim2025-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just completed the Puppy class to learn the foundational skills that we need to teach our high energy puppy. As a first-time dog owner, I find it essential to start right in order to prevent many unnecessary stress and certainly attending the Puppy Class at Pet Coach was a worthy investment. Qi Ai is highly experienced and good with explaining the reasons behind each skills so that we can have a clear behaviour outcome to work toward, of course with patience, persistence and consistency. We also have private training sessions with Qi Ai and have seen great improvement in our puppy behaviour. Still some way to go but we will get there with the guidance from Pet Coach! Babita Kotwani2025-11-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog Molly and I went through the Project ADORE training with Qiai from PetCoach. As a rescue, Molly was very reactive to people coming into our space, which made me anxious about having her in an HDB flat and made it hard for visitors to come to our home. Qiai was absolutely brilliant with how she broke down the process for me. She explained how to desensitise Molly slowly, which was encouraging because the smaller steps felt manageable. She gave prompt and detailed feedback when I sent her videos of my training attempts with her. She has a calm presence, which made Molly feel instantly at ease with her. Even during the outdoor training, Qiai was very observant and perceptive of Molly's subtle shows of anxiety and told me what to look out for. Molly is now much calmer and we can actually have visitors at home. Thank you, Qiai, for your wonderful guidance! Ken Ang2025-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing short of spectacular turnaround - Mi went from visibly unsettling moment pre departure cue was upon her to a calm and collected posture when I stepped out some 2 months later. Separation anxiety overcame! Credits go to QiAi who has been extremely professional demonstrating mastery and competency at the highest level. Joyce2025-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sent my high energy puppy for the puppy group class. Very impressed by Qiai and her team, they were able to manage and adjust the environment in class to cater to the needs of different pups. They definitely have much experience with herding/working breeds which tend to be more challenging to manage. My puppy enjoyed the class and loved all the trainers very much. The lesson plan was useful and could be applied to our daily training. Although we still have a long way to go until the end of adolescence, the lessons really help my pup focus more and calm down faster in exciting situations. Karen Wong2025-09-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bruce has been going to Petcoach since he was 5 months old, in a bid to socialize him early as well as strengthen his hind and core due to his breed (mini doxie). Bruce is not the easiest pup, with a sophisticated palette (aka not food motivated) and an independent nature (aka stubborn) but the trainers at Pet Coach took every avenue and ounce of patience to coach him into the confident and spritely pup that he is. I’ve gotten many comments on how much stronger, fitter and confident Bruce has gotten since he started! I appreciate that the team there gives regular updates, develop exercises suitable for each individual dog’s ability and temperament with a lot of 1-on-1 time. It also helps that all of them are amazing humans who not only love dogs, but take time to coach owners as well. Not to mention , possessing a wicked sense of humor! C AS2025-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are incredibly happy with the training we’ve received from Qiai! From the beginning, the approach has been clear, supportive, and entirely based on positive reinforcement—which has made a huge difference in both our dog’s behavior and our bond with them. Qiai is an excellent trainer. She explains each step with clarity and patience, making it easy for us to stay engaged and confident in the process. Her calm, encouraging style created a positive environment not just for our dog, but for pawrents as well. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate dog trainer! Jerry2025-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are very grateful to have Qi Ai as Huat Kueh’s coach. Her instructions are always clear, and the sessions are not only helpful for our dog but also very enjoyable for us as parents. Each season, we learn new techniques and methods to better train Huat Kueh. Often, we realize the training is just as much about teaching us—reminding us to give clear, consistent instructions and to be patient. Qi Ai’s guidance has made a big difference, and we truly appreciate her dedication and support. 👍🏼 Dhania Nair2025-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog has been attending Pet Coach’s dayschool programme consistently and the difference has been amazing. Not only has he become fitter and healthier, but I can also see how much more confident he is thanks to their customized, force-free approach that’s rooted in science and compassion. What stands out is how thoughtfully structured each day is, and I appreciate that they don’t just train my dog—they also teach us as his guardians how to continue progress at home through skills-transfer sessions and provide consistent feedback with extraordinary attention to detail. The entire team at Pet Coach truly understand each dog’s needs and meet them where they are, which makes all the difference. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. In an unfortunately highly unregulated industry, I deeply admire their dedication and commitment to ethically building confidence, resilience and lifelong bonds. If you’re looking for a programme that’s grounded in science, compassion, and individualized support, PetCoach SG is the real deal and we highly recommend them!







FAQs on Canine Fitness
What is canine conditioning?
Yes, canine conditioning, or K9 fitness, is a crucial aspect of dog training that focuses on physical exercises to improve a dog’s health, strength, and agility. Professional trainers advocate integrating it into training routines not only to tackle behavioral issues but also to elevate the dog’s overall well-being. Find out more about what to expect from a Canine Conditioning Coach!
Through diverse exercises, it’s possible to enhance your dog’s cardiovascular health, muscle tone, and coordination. This practice not only bolsters physical health but also strengthens the bond between pet and owner, supporting a positive relationship.
Tailored to fit each dog’s unique needs, especially with professional guidance, canine conditioning aligns with modern training methods to either teach new skills or boost fitness levels, underpinning the significance of this practice in a dog’s care regimen.
How much exercise does my dog need?
Ensuring your furry friend gets the right amount of exercise is key for their health and happiness. Most dogs thrive on 30 minutes to 2 hours of activity daily, but it really depends on their breed, age, and energy level. It’s all about finding what works best for your pup. High-energy breeds may need more intense activities like running, while a leisurely walk might be enough for older or smaller dogs.
Mixing physical and mental exercises keeps your dog engaged and helps prevent behavior issues. Think fun games, puzzles, and regular obedience training. If you’re unsure about the best exercise plan, a chat with a certified dog trainer can make all the difference. They can offer personalized advice to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well-behaved. Remember, it’s about creating a balanced routine that fits your dog’s unique needs.
Check out a separate article on why you should ensure your canine companion stays physically fit!
How can I improve my dog's fitness and train them to be fit?
Boosting your furry friend’s fitness involves a mix of physical activities, brain games, and steady training. Certified dog trainers suggest starting with a balanced plan focusing on both exercise and behaviour training. Remember, a strong bond based on trust and positive vibes is key.
Mix up their routine with walks, runs, agility courses, and fun games. This keeps them physically fit and mentally sharp, tackling any naughty behaviour. Stick to positive reinforcement—treats and praises work wonders for encouraging good behavior.
Stuck on a tricky behaviour issue? A professional dog trainer can be a game-changer, offering customized plans and new tricks tailored to your pup’s needs. A solid routine of training and fun activities strengthens your bond and leads to a joyful, healthy, and obedient dog.
What are conditioning workouts for dogs?
Conditioning workouts for dogs are structured routines aimed at improving your furry friend’s physical fitness, strength, and happiness. These exercises, tailored by professional dog trainers, are designed to meet the specific needs of different breeds and individual dogs. By using a variety of training methods, you can address behavioral issues and enhance your bond with your pet, teaching them better manners and behaviors.
Conditioning workouts are great for tackling common problems like obesity, anxiety, and hyperactivity, promoting a healthier, more content pet. For those looking to boost their dog’s fitness and behavior, a consultation with a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA) can offer the guidance needed to create an effective conditioning plan.
Is walking uphill good for dogs?
Yes, incorporating uphill walks in your dog’s routine is highly recommended by professional trainers, including us at Pet Coach SG. Hill walks offer numerous benefits for both pets and their owners. It’s not just great physical exercise that builds muscle and boosts heart health, but it also mentally engages your dog, helping to solve behavioural problems by introducing them to new, stimulating environments.
Including inclines in your training strengthens your bond, providing perfect moments for teaching and connecting. Diverse exercises like hill walks are key to a well-balanced, content, and obedient dog. Considering new commands or addressing behavioural issues? A consultation with a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA) could customise the ideal strategy for you and your furry friend.
