Perhaps you are new to agility …
Or you’ve already got agility experience and a whole lot of aspirations …
Perhaps you hold many competitions under your belt but feel like your dog just isn’t shining as bright as they could be.
No matter your end goal – Your choice to transform your dog into an agility standout will create a cascade of positive outcomes for both you and your dog …
Not only does it make your dog stronger, increase endurance, and enhance their overall health, but it also boosts your dog’s mental prowess.
And it makes the coordination between you two as seamless as a finely-tuned orchestra,
creating a beautiful symphony of motion.
And honestly, can there be a better way to bond with your dog while also giving them the gift of a healthy and active life?
Agility is like the perfect mix of fun, excitement, fear, and everything else this beautiful sport has to offer.
The only difference is it’s your dog who is the player, and you are the coach …
And this makes it even more fun …
The problem is –
Agility demands strength, balance, and flexibility …
Starting your dog’s agility journey without setting the right foundations is like diving headfirst into a pool when you don’t know how to swim.
When uninformed dog owners try to train their dogs for agility or any sport …
They usually stick only to the agility field, but an agility dog’s success goes far beyond mastering jumps, turns, backsides, weaves, and running contacts.
This is why they end up putting too much pressure on their dog’s body …
Which leads to injuries and sometimes lifelong regrets for both the dog and their owners.
But it does not have to be that way.
Once you start with agility-specific conditioning for fitness …
Agility becomes so much more fun, easy, and much less frustrating for both you and your dog.
The workouts you’ll discover in this course mimic the movements and demands of agility.
You’ll start to notice your dog will naturally transition the moves they’ve learned at home (in a safe environment) to agility training and even competitions.
So turning your dog into a top-notch athlete and getting them in peak physical shape … is the secret sauce for having a lightning-fast, strong, focused and super agile dog that leaves everyone in awe.
If you were a skiing coach, would you let your new athlete hit the winter slopes without any preparation?
You would not, right?
The same is true with your dog.
If you want your dog to be active, healthy, and ready for agility …
You shouldn’t rely solely on training agility-specific skills on the field.
Unless you are aware of sports-specific conditioning and training … you will find it hard to make true progress with them.
And your chances of making crucial mistakes will increase exponentially when unaware …
So what you need is – a deep understanding of canine conditioning coupled with conditioning exercises, workout plans, and training knowledge.
You need a solid fitness foundation to truly transform your dog’s weaknesses into unstoppable advantages.
And take their agility performance to the next level!
Say goodbye to:
Instead, you will:
This is for you if you want your dog to have a more active lifestyle … get them in their peak physical shape, and help them be more muscular and healthier overall.
The conditioning methodology and exercises will give your dog a headstart in the world of canine conditioning and agility.
Want your dog to have a strong foundation which you can build his canine agility career upon? This course has everything you need to set the right foundation for a successful agility career.
You have some experience and maybe hold many competitions under your belt. But do you know your dog can do much better when conditioned for optimal canine fitness? You are in the right place at the right time.
Dogs give their best every time they step on the training/competition field and doing my best to keep them healthy and physically prepared for all the challenges, is something I owe them as the owner and handler. And just because of that, Jana’s conditioning classes are a huge part of our training and warming up/cooling down routine.
All exercises are designed in a way to make it as safe for the dog as possible, she puts a lot of attention to details (which is REALLY important when we come to conditioning) and on top of that, Jana knows really well how to adapt to every individual dog and give them what they need the most (when you have breeds that are not really “social butterflies”, working with someone who understands dog’s character is really important).
So thank you Jana for your great classes and for all the “live” training and check-ups! It means a lot to me, to have someone so skilled watching over my dogs!

41,7% of dogs competing in agility develop an injury that keeps them from participating in agility for > 1 week.
The forces exerted upon the dog during the landing were found to be larger in dogs who were inexperienced and unconditioned, as compared to the more advanced, stronger, dogs.
The forces placed on a dog’s forelimbs after landing a jump are 3-5x bigger than the dog’s body weight and the strength and stability of their front end play a big role in defying these forces.
Featured Video: I Work with Many Canine Athletes on a Daily Basis as the Founder of the Dogs4motion, Veterinary Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Center in Slovenia.
After treating hundreds of agility dogs at my rehab center …
And after participating in agility competitions myself …
I can see and identify a strong, balanced and flexible dog from far away.
I can also identify which dogs have been conditioned for agility and fitness …
And have the most chances to win. Or at least finish the course in a safe way.
And which dogs are only there to endure injuries and setbacks.
So over my decade-long career, I have seen more dogs than I can count getting injured on the field.
For only one reason-
A lack of optimal fitness, strength, balance, and flexibility in dogs.
After seeing so many lovely dogs meeting unfortunate fates … I decided to roll up my sleeves and provide dog owners and handlers the solution to making their dog a true agility standout.
So I combined my decades of agility experience, canine conditioning experience, and veterinary medicine experience …
To create a course that provides the right foundations for agility dogs and even turns normal everyday dogs into athletic dogs.
This course that I created soon became a favorite among so many agility enthusiasts …
Only because it provides all the right knowledge, tools, and tricks to have a perfectly conditioned dog who can conquer agility and will benefit in other sports and everyday life as well.
So here’s my big promise:

At least two non-slippery platforms of different heights.
You can use a lower plank or target that your dog can comfortably step on/target with either their front or hind paws.
Additionally, you can use a larger object that your dog can easily sit on such as a simple do-it-yourself wooden platform or foam pad.
A plank covered in a grippy surface that is slightly longer than the length of your dog’s body, and slightly wider than your dog’s body width.
Some of the exercises can be performed on inclines/declines, so it’s good if you use a longer plank, perhaps even the one you use for your contact training!
This course is most suitable for dogs at least 8 months old to begin with basic exercises and workouts, and at least 12 months old to fully participate in all exercises.
If you have a dog younger than 8 months, you can still join the class, starting with basic exercises and gradually progressing.
However, for puppies, building endurance isn't your goal just yet, nor is muscle mass gain, so you might want to rather join our FUNdamentals for Puppies course first - a course dedicated specifically to puppies and growing dogs (suitable for puppies starting as early as at 8 weeks of age) or our FUNdamentals K9 conditioning course for active dogs (suitable for young, at least 6 months old, dogs, and inexperienced/unconditioned adults).
At a young age, you should first be building up proprioception, balance, body awareness, recruiting proper muscle activation, and improving the brain-to-muscle connections. We always promote safe, controlled, and low-impact body use.

This was absolutely super online course. There were very good exercises and really good theory part. I am really happy that I entered my dogs to Fundamentals online course. Jana’s feedback for all the videos was very thorough.
I am really satisfied how my dogs looked after the course and how much better was their coordination.

It enables you to proceed confidently, assured that you’re performing tasks correctly and staying on track.
Once you finish the course, you will have a deep understanding of how to properly condition your dog for agility success.
More than that, you will have all the tools you need to take your agility performance to the next level … minimizing the risk of injuries and setbacks.
Inside the course, we are going to reveal all crucial canine conditioning secrets and exercises that produce visible results in just a matter of weeks …
Without investing more than 5-10 minutes a day.
However, these exercises are so enjoyable and provide a perfect opportunity to bond with your dog that you’ll likely find yourself eagerly anticipating that “training time” of day.

Plus, you will get access to a close-knit FB group community of caring dog owners and agility enthusiasts like yourself.
After the course, you’ll feel a lot more confident in your dog’s physique, knowing you’ve done everything to prepare well for the agility field.
So, jump on board, and let’s have some fun together.
The program is suitable for all healthy agility athletes, including beginners, experts, and those preparing to start. It also accommodates dogs returning to the sport after a break, whether due to the off-season, having had puppies, or recovering from an injury with clearance to participate again.
If your dog has recently recovered from an injury and requires a gradual strength-rebuilding process, please email us at info@dogs4motion.com. We will assist you in determining the appropriate starting time for the exercises based on your dog’s current recovery stage.
Furthermore, when dealing with specific conditions such as past injuries, joint pain, or other weaknesses, it is crucial to have regular check-ups with a specialist to monitor your dog’s well-being. You can also opt for our 1-on-1 personal consultations for further guidance tailored to your dog’s unique situation.
There’s no minimum age requirement. Ideal for 8+ months old pups, but an early start is possible. Start with the basics and progress gradually. Dedicated lesson on exercising young dogs, with clear explanations. Follow recommendations and adapt exercises based on the pup’s age. Promotes safe, controlled, and low-impact body use. Strengthen bond and have fun through dog fitness.
Since you have lifetime access to the course, you can spend the initial weeks and months teaching foundational behaviors before transitioning to more challenging exercises when your dog is ready. You don’t have to worry about the course ending before your young dog is old enough to fully participate.
The difference lies in the number of repetitions and the equipment setups you choose to use. You will be impressed by how you can modify the same exercise to be foundational and easy or super difficult for top athletes!
This class covers all the variations for changing up these exercises, making it an additional benefit if you own multiple dogs with different needs.
Although this course focuses on sport-specific fitness for agility and includes more advanced exercises, it is suitable for complete beginners. The course covers all the foundational aspects of canine conditioning, allowing you to safely and effectively enter this field.
The only prerequisite is that you and your dog are familiar with reward-based training, specifically taking food from your hand. If you have that, you’re ready to start! It’s also helpful if your dog knows basic behaviors like sit, lie down, and give a paw, as this will make it easier to teach certain exercises.
Experienced handlers and dogs will also find the course challenging and engaging.
Absolutely! You will have the opportunity to effectively strengthen your dog’s entire body. The course provides clear step-by-step explanations and instructional videos to guide you along the way.
It is much more effective with food as it requires precision and repetition in exercises that can be challenging to achieve with toy rewards. If your dog eats daily meals, you can switch from using a bowl to using the food as a training reward.
If you have a dog that recently recovered from an injury and you’re looking to safely regain strength and return to agility, Agility Dynamics in Control is the perfect course for you. It provides valuable information about agility, canine athletes, and safer play techniques to minimize the risk of recurring injuries.
The instructor is fully qualified in canine rehabilitation. However, when dealing with specific conditions like past injuries, joint pain, or weaknesses, it’s crucial to have your dog regularly checked by a specialist to monitor their well-being.
If you’re unsure whether the course is suitable for your dog’s individual case, especially if they have recently recovered from an injury, feel free to contact us at info@dogs4motion.com. We’ll assist you in determining the best starting time for the exercises based on your dog’s recovery stage. Additionally, you can apply for our 1-on-1 personal consultations for further guidance tailored to your dog’s specific situation.
Having a compromised dog emphasizes the importance of performing exercises correctly and at their ability level. Personalized feedback is recommended to ensure maximum safety and efficacy for your dog. Jana is available to provide such feedback based on her expertise, guiding you to take the right approach and perform exercises in a way that benefits your dog’s condition and abilities.
If you have access to some basic fitness equipment (or if you want to add in some difficulty), this is a plus, but it’s not necessary when signing up for this class – you can always use some stuff from your house inventory!
Recommended:
Yes! Strengthening the musculature around such weak joints is of the greatest importance! It will help improve your dog’s stability and add desperately needed support to the joints.
In this class, we also focus on strengthening the core, which is needed to achieve a balanced and effective movement throughout the body.
The program is made by Jana Gams, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. So, not only approved but even made by one!
This course is not just for Border Collies! From Poodles to German Shepherds, and beyond. You name it. All dogs that enjoy the game of agility are welcome here. We love all of them. Dog fitness even helps breeds with longer backs, that highly benefit from some extra core strengthening.
Fret not, we have your back. Although this is a self-study program- you can always opt in for one-on-one personal feedback with Jana Gams. Or go for other options.
But the course is designed in a way (with notes and videos, both) that it’s highly unlikely you will get stuck.
Certainly! We offer 1-on-1 consultations. You can read more about them here >> Afterward, you can book your appointment by sending an email to: info@dogs4motion.com.
Absolutely! With the Agility Dynamics in Control course, you will have lifetime access. This means you can revisit the course, reinforce your understanding, and start with new dogs whenever you desire in the future.
One of our delighted Academy members has already completed one of the courses four times within the six-week workout period. She has reported that her dog has become incredibly strong and muscular. She feels more confident in her agility training, enjoying the satisfaction of giving her dog the utmost care and support.
Yes. The access to the content platform is lifetime, and it is very easy to use and navigate. Additionally, PDFs of the Weekly Workout content are available for download.
Currently, the course is only available in English, but it does come with English subtitles. However, we do plan on translating the subtitles into other languages in the future, so please follow us for updates.
The video material is not downloadable, but the PDFs are. However, access to the online classroom is lifetime and the content platform can be reached very easily from any device (phone, tablet, or computer), and is very simple to use.
