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 47 reviews 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. Iāve 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 dogās 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 weāve received from Qiai! From the beginning, the approach has been clear, supportive, and entirely based on positive reinforcementāwhich has made a huge difference in both our dogās 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 Kuehās 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 usāreminding us to give clear, consistent instructions and to be patient. Qi Aiās guidance has made a big difference, and we truly appreciate her dedication and support. šš¼ Dhania Nair2025-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog has been attending Pet Coachās 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 thatās rooted in science and compassion. What stands out is how thoughtfully structured each day is, and I appreciate that they donāt just train my dogāthey 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 dogās needs and meet them where they are, which makes all the difference. It gives me such peace of mind knowing heās 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 youāre looking for a programme thatās grounded in science, compassion, and individualized support, PetCoach SG is the real deal and we highly recommend them! Yi Xin Loh2025-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No regrets sending my pup to ATC! I initially enrolled him to improve his overall strength and fitness since he has LP grade 2. After 8 sessions, I can already see a huge improvement in his fitness. Most importantly, heās always so happy whenever he goes to school ā he runs straight in without even looking back! Haha. Itās not easy to find a training centre that genuinely cares about our pupsā well-being, but ATC truly does. I really appreciate how they limit the number of pups so that each trainer/handler can give proper attention and care. So glad to have found Pet Coach ATC! beef udon2025-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog experienced a scare while she was on a walk and became severely traumatised. Refused to leave the house, shaking uncontrollably, and holding her pee because she was so scared. Qiai over several months managed to restore my dog's confidence. The training was tailored to my dog and Qiai was super perceptive on what my dog's triggers were and what challenges stood in her way. Now my dog is able to go back on her normal walks! Henry Foo2025-08-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kudos to the team from Petcoach,. ATC is not just a daycare, they train and build my boys mobility and confidence. š¾ Definitely recommend going to the ATC than a regular daycare. šŖš¼ PJ T2025-08-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My pup loves going to ATC!! He is always so excited for pick ups. I love that itās not only a daycare, but a specialized one that trains fitness, strengthening his muscles, and increasing his hind leg awareness. I have also noticed that his confidence grew ever since attending ATC, being more confident with unstable surfaces, being able to jump higher with less hesitation. It gives the pawrents a good break too. My only gripe is that itās extremely hard to book transport! I would love for Oreo to attend more sessions. Natalie Kwee2025-08-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been sending our whippet Lucy to ATC for the past 6 months after we came across Pet Coach when we were looking for someone to help us manage her separation distress. Qi Ai was really helpful in our one-to-one consult and gave us a game plan to follow. She checked in regularly and suggested tweaks and modifications based on her progress. From not being able to leave our house for more than 30 minutes, Lucy is now able to self soothe even when sheās anxious about us leaving, and can now be left at home alone for up to 5 hours (perhaps more! But we havenāt tried). When Lucy began ATC she was also very skittish and nervous. She had experienced other dog training programs before but until she got to ATC, didnāt have a group of people who understood her sensitive nature nor had the patience to draw her out of her shell. Over the last six months weāve seen her grow in her confidence in new surroundings, engage and interact with dogs in a playful manner, and really come into herself! We are so grateful for the entire Pet Coach team for walking with us through this journey. Their dedication to every single dog is unmatched. Their real-time photo & video updates while Lucy is at ATC, encouragement through the difficult phases, and level of attention they give to her development is something we will always be grateful for!







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, itās about creating a balanced routine that fits your dogās 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 reinforcementātreats 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.
