Here's Why the Majority of Dog Owners and Trainers Never Reach Their Dog's Full Potential ...
It’s pretty simple, actually.
They focus waaaay too little on the strengthening aspect of training.
Instead, dog owners often rely on mere walks or play sessions with toys, which fail to fully fulfill their dogs’ needs.
As a result, this neglect leaves their dogs unprepared for any activities, whether it be training, competing, working out, or simply enjoying hiking, fetching toys, and playing with other dogs.
This lack of preparation also increases the risk of injuries.
Something as basic as throwing a ball can end badly.
Did you know that a play of fetch is one of the most played games with our dogs and at the top of injury-inducing games at the same time?
Quick stops, turns and twists put the dog’s body into positions that are hard to handle, and thus increase the risk of getting injured.
Imagine …
If something as basic as throwing a ball can have such dire consequences, how do you think engaging in high-power activities like agility, frisbee, or any other dog sports will turn out?
All those high-intensity sprints, jumps, weaves, turns, twists, accelerations, decelerations, and changes of direction …
However, living in constant fear and refraining from engaging in any activities with them is clearly not a solution.
Because deep down you already know the hardcore truth, right?💡
Dogs Are the Ultimate Athletes!
They Require an Active Lifestyle for Optimal Health and Happiness.
If you truly want a happy, long, active, and healthy life (and sports career) of your dog, their good physical preparation should be your number 1 priority!
Taking part in daily activities is not only good for their physical health, but also their mental health …
It’s also a great way for you and your canine companion to bond in a new way.
Canine conditioning is a type of workout based on a number of specific exercises that aim to improve your dog’s:
- Strength
- Endurance
- Balance
- Coordination
- Flexibility
With regular and appropriate exercises you will also improve the longevity of your dog and keep them fit and mentally entertained throughout their life, all from puppyhood to senior years.
What could be a better solution than spending as little as 10 minutes per day on a couple of fun and beneficial conditioning exercises?
Anywhere, anytime, and with minimal equipment needed.

The Success Stories of Trainers and Competitors
Speak for Themselves
I started working with Jana almost 3 years ago and ever since, she has been an indispensable part of our training plan. She is always there for us – for conditioning plan and workout (her tips on how to get a specific move from your dog are priceless) or regular preventive check ups and massages.
Regardless of what your dogs needs are, Jana always adapts to their individual needs. She is kind and with an amazing feeling and desire to help dogs to be in best shape possible. She gives her heart into every single one of her animal clients and treats them as they were her own. I’m grateful I have a chance to work with such a person as Jana is. And seeing how my dogs adores her, I’m quite certain they feel the same. Thank you Jana!
Lea Komat – Slovenia
Agility competitor and instructor, member of Slovenian national team since 2016
Perfect class for building balance and strength for my dogs, super easy to understand and very good feedback!
Lisa Frick – Austria
International dog trainer and handler – 4 times world champion, vice European champion
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!

FUNdamentals Conditioning course is a very interesting and wonderful courses.
I learned many useful exercises for my dogs. I liked the very detailed and understandable explanation of each exercise, a lot of attention is given to the safe execution of exercises.
My dogs perform exercises every week during our walks, at home, before training. And they do theirs with pleasure!

The 3-Part Game Plan for Your
Dog Conditioning Routine
Here's exactly how you'll do it:
Step 1
Set Good Foundations:
With 5-minute Skill Time lessons, you will develop understanding, confidence, and achieve proper form.
You will work on things like:
- How to activate muscles in the correct pattern
- How to move
- How to transfer weight
- How to keep balance
- How to react to certain moves
- How to use the gear
You will want to polish the isolated exercises first before moving on to the workouts.
Step 2
Proceed to Workout Weeks and Start Working Out:
To start building strength, you will begin working out with your dog by loading their muscles. It’s important to maintain proper form while executing exercises.
There are 6 weeks of done-for-you guided workout plans waiting for you.
Each week comprises 3 combined full-body workouts and 2 training opportunities to focus on your foundational skills.
You have the flexibility to work at your own pace, with the goal of completing 5 training sessions lasting 5 to 15 minutes each per week.
Step 3
Progress:
The final step is crucial to prevent your dog’s progress from plateauing and to help them continue to gain strength.
Once your dog has built a solid foundation and is ready, you can gradually increase the load and level of difficulty of the exercises to challenge them at a new, yet reasonable, level.
Each exercise is accompanied by tips on how to progress. Therefore, once you complete the initial round of Fundamentals, you can revisit the course and redo it with exercises of increased difficulty, enabling you to further advance and progress.

Perform Isolated Single Exercise Sets or Combine Them into Full-Body Circuit Training:
Exercises for The Front
– The Steering Wheel
Jumping puts a lot of pressure on a dog’s forelimbs. To prevent injuries, strengthen your dog’s shoulders, toes, and wrists. This provides better support during jumps and other high-power exercises.
Exercises for The Rear
– The Engine
The rear end acts as the engine of a dog’s body, responsible for pushing them forward. Improving your dog’s rear-end strength enhances their acceleration and takeoff power and provides support to commonly injured joints, such as the hips and knees.
Exercises for The Core
– The Stabilizer
The core muscles are the true stabilizing mechanism of the body. A stable core is crucial for providing better balance and stability. When the core is weak, the body compensates by overloading other muscles, increasing the risk of injuries.
Full-Body Workouts
We have prepared 6 weeks of done-for-you training plans, that combine exercises to hit all major muscle groups in a single training session. This allows for shorter recovery time and more frequent training sessions. Exercise
Bonus 1: Mobility Exercises
Active stretching and mobility exercises prevent muscle tightness and shortening, which improves power and reduces the risk of injury. Use this cool-down routine after agility runs or in weekly workouts to improve your dog’s flexibility and range of motion.
Bonus 2: Skill Room
This is where you’ll find all foundation exercises thoroughly explained: benefits, proper form of execution, teaching tips, common mistakes to avoid, etc. You will unlock new exercises on a weekly basis and gradually fill your skill room.

And from that time she is not injured her self again. She became much more comfortable with her body, much more active and will to play wild puppy games! I’m really happy with this results and definitely will continue our workouts!

My 14 years old Golden Retriever is fitter than ever!
Although my Golden Retriever of 14 years old wasn't able to do all the exercises (obviously), we still have a really good time repeating and doing the exercises that he was able to do. He really loved the attention and doing the exercises and through the weeks, you saw that he was getting better and better at them. I dind't want my senior dog to become a fitness-master but spending the quality time with him and seeing that he really benefited from the exercises, was a win-win situation, to say the least. I'm 100% sure that without the exercises he would not be as 'fit' as he is today. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone!

1Canine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation
(Zink et al, 2018)
Muscles act as shock absorbers for the joints, thus exercises that strengthen periarticular muscles can have a protective effect.
2Essential Facts of Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine in Companion Animals
(Bockstahler et al, 2019)
Appropriately conditioned performance and working dogs perform better and are less likely to suffer injuries. When injuries do occur, they tend to be less severe, and recovery is faster. In addition, fit working dogs suffer less stress, which translates to greater stamina and longevity as working dogs- -a win- win situation for both dog and client.

Unveiling the Inspiration Behind My Program Design:
It’s Not What You’d Expect!
I know exactly what it feels like not knowing:
- Where to start?
- What to do?
- How to do it the right way?
Worrying about whether you’re overloading or skipping something.
Being afraid that you’ll do something wrong and harm your loyal buddy.
When I was a veterinary student, I struggled a lot with finding good educational content.
I wanted to help my sweet puppy Genie after she broke her tibia in an accident when she was only 10 weeks old.
I still remember the heartbreaking look of those big sad puppy eyes.
My biggest concern was whether she’d ever be able to be active again.
I had no idea how to prevent her from future compensatory issues.
And above all …
How to enable her to grow up into a healthy, active, and wild adult.
Now I was on the mission – searching for the missing key!
I dug deeper and deeper into the field of canine conditioning, sports medicine, and rehabilitation.
It became my passion, guiding me forward and into the canine rehabilitation field even after I graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine.
I also went on to create a foundational online conditioning academy that changed the lives of thousands!
But, throughout all of this, I continued to compete in agility – I have been an active trainer and competitor in several dog sports with my own dogs for the past 18 years.
All this has helped me to understand their needs better … And how important it is to take care of their well-being – from their puppyhood to their senior years.
And with that, after years of work and research, I finally found the missing key for our beloved athletes:

Going over cavaletti rails really is a perfect exercise to improve overall strength and body awareness. We love it – how about you? ❤
There are 25 detailed exercises just like this inside the Skill Room, which you get as a special BONUS when you enroll in our online course. 💪
Minimal Equipment Needed
Platforms
Two non-slippery platforms.
You can use two lower planks or targets that your dog can comfortably step on or target with either their front or hind paws.
It can be a simple do-it-yourself wooden platform or foam pad, or you can always use some items from your household inventory.
Set of bars
A set of cavaletti cones and bars or any kind of poles from your home inventory (such as brooms, rakes, hiking poles, etc.) can be used.
A non-slip surface
If you don’t have a non-slip floor, I would advise you to use a mat or carpet that you can place in the room where you normally train (such as a yoga mat, carpet, or foam puzzles that you can clip together).
Ideal for 6+ months old pups, but an early start is possible.
Start with the basics and progress gradually.
This course is most suitable for dogs at least 6 months old to begin with workouts, and to fully participate in all exercises. If you have a dog younger than 6 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).
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 Is for You If
You want to know more about your dog’s body so you can play to their strengths and increase their efficiency.
You’ve reached a plateau in your training (you don’t know how to take things to the next level).
You know your dog is capable of more on the field! (they are not as precise as you know they could be, they can be sloppy and miss things or knock down bars).
You feel sympathy for your dog and it pains you to have to frequently keep them on rest.
You’re curious and want to learn more about muscle function and HOW your dog actually moves through the agility field.
You’re scared to have to go through the same injury with your dog again (but really want to continue with the sport as you see how much they love it).
You want to minimize the risk of injury with your dog when running agility.

Opportunity To Take Part In a Course Like This
Rarely Comes Around!
A course with this much knowledge and depth regarding dog fitness has never before been seen in such a simple, and easy to follow, ready-to-use format!
Does this Suit me?
Is my dog suitable to do dog conditioning?
The program is designed to suit all age stages of dogs:
- Puppies.
- Young dogs.
- Adults.
- Sporting, working or family dogs.
- Oldies goldies who will benefit from some extra proprioception work.
Is my dog too young or too old to participate?
Ideal for 6+ months old pups, but an early start is possible.
You can start as early as with a puppy after age 9-10 weeks (of course the basics only) and then progress. It is important that you follow the recommendations on how to adapt exercises for a certain age of pups. We explain everything within the course.
The basics are a great way to start working with a puppy/young dog. You will get them used to reward-based training and working with food. You will also familiarize them with different kinds of objects, platforms, and materials.
Progress at your own pace to master the exercises. For serious workouts included in this class, it is better to wait a little longer. Your puppy should understand the principles of learning and being rewarded.
This course is a great way for puppies and young dogs to learn how to use their bodies. In safe, controlled, and low-impact conditions. Dog fitness is also a great way to build a strong bond with your dog and have lots of fun.
Remember. You will get lifetime access to all content. You can decide to spend weeks or months teaching the foundation behaviors first. You can move to the workouts when you become ready.
You don’t need to worry the course will end before your puppy is old enough for it.
How come this course is suitable for all age stages and for top canine athletes?
The difference is in the number of repetitions, and equipment setups.
You will be impressed with how you can make the same exercise as easy as possible and super difficult for top athletes!
This will further benefit you if you own several dogs with different needs!
I feel like this course is only meant for Border Collies ... Are you sure I can do this with my dog?
Yes, we are sure. We have plenty of proof to back it up. Not just Border Collies. From Poodles to German Shepherds. You name it. All breeds are welcome here. We love all of them. Dog fitness even help breeds with longer backs.
The program is also suitable for dogs with long spines. You will help them develop core strength which is super important for them. Using low equipment/platforms does the trick and the fact that we are working with the dog in front of us!
I do obedience and rescue dog work. Is this course suitable for us?
Yes! FUNdamentals is very beneficial for doing obedience and/or rescue work with your dogs.
Can this course help my dog with free stacking for conformation showing?
In FUNdamentals, dog owners work on improving the symmetry and active range of motion of their dogs’ bodies. Having a weaker body part can negatively affect balance and predispose the dog’s body to further damage, as well as overload the spine due to structural deficits, the effects of unilateral work in particular dog sports, past injuries, or chronic compensatory issues.
I can't motivate my dog with treats; only with toys or work. Will this be a problem for us?
This program is much more effective with food. It requires precision and repetition in exercises that are difficult to achieve with a toy reward.
Does your dog eat daily meals? If so, you can switch from using a bowl to using the food as a training reward.
Health and safety concerns
Is the program approved by canine doctors of physical therapy?
Yes. The program is made by Jana Gams, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. It is also recommended by other experts and backed up by science.
Do I need any special equipment?
No special equipment is required! You can always use some stuff from your house inventory!
A simple do-it-yourself platform or foam pad will suffice.
It is good to have some basic fitness equipment. Or more, if you want to add in some difficulty.
If you want to buy anything, a simple balance mat will do, and for the rest, you can improvise.
Do I need any pre-knowledge before enrolling into the course?
No, you do not.
You and your dog can be complete beginners and you will still be able to follow the course. You will discover the foundations to start with canine conditioning safely and effectively. If your dog is used to reward-based training (like taking food from your hand) you are good to go! You and your dog will learn everything through the course. You will start with true basics and continue to build strong foundations.
If you are an experienced handler (or have an experienced dog), relax. This course will challenge you and keep you both occupied as well.
Will I be able to train my dog's whole body?
Yes! You will be able to strengthen your dog’s whole body equally and in the right way. You will be guided with easy-to-follow step-by-step explanations and videos.
My dog is dealing with a specific condition. Can we participate?
Yes! For example, when dealing with issues like:
- Mild hip/elbow dysplasia.
- Hypermobility.
- L7/S1 problems.
- Lower back issues.
- Tight hip flexors.
- Problems with older dogs.
- Other specific health problems.
Past injuries.
To improve the support to the hips, you need to strengthen the musculature around weaker hips. At the same time, you should focus on strengthening the core. This will allow your dog to move with more balance and in an effective way.
We also have quite some dogs with lower back issues who joined the course and benefitted from it greatly.
There are also guidelines throughout the class for dogs with hip dysplasia, to make the exercises as safe as possible.
The instructor Jana Gams is qualified in canine rehabilitation. You will be able to apply the easiest variation of each exercise, depending on the case. You will discover how to adapt each exercise for the best strengthening outcome. You will learn how to choose the right setup in order not to overload this part of the body.
You can also request Jana Gams’s feedback to make sure you’re doing exercises the right way. We will make rehabilitation plans to rebuild muscle and strength. It is important that you adapt them to your dog’s conditions and current abilities. If you believe your case is different, don’t hesitate to contact us: info@dogs4motion.com!
This is a self-study course. What if I run into a problem and need additional help?
This course is designed as a self-study program. Relax. For a small fee, you can upgrade and additionally purchase a 1-on-1 personal feedback with Jana Gams!
I would like to have an individual training advice for my dog from Jana Gams. Is this possible?
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.
Technical Questions
Do I really get a lifetime access to all content?
Yes! You keep lifetime access to the FUNdamentals course. That means you can restart it, refresh your knowledge and start with other dogs anytime in the future.
Right now one of our happy students already finished 4th round of 6 workout weeks. She said that her dog is super powerful and muscular. She feels safer doing agility and loves the feeling to do the most she can for her dog.
If I choose to make payment in two installments, when will the second payment be due?
The next payment is due one month after the initial purchase date. For instance, if the purchase is made on July 16th, the subsequent payment will be due on August 16th.
What is the title and the point of the certificate?
Upon completion of the course, we will award you with this certificate. The course is primarily designed for dog owners and trainers, rather than dog professionals, although many professionals do also make use of the course.
Is it easy to open and access the exercises?
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.
Is the course available in languages other than English?
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.
