My dog and I went through the regular FUNdamentals before, but struggled quite a bit with some of the exercises, since this is completely new to both of us. Taking on the Seniors, with even more indepth explanations on how to start teaching the exercises to a novice team, was a breeze! We don't struggle any more, and we both feel a lot more confident now, so we will for sure mix up the exercises from both programs when we continue. The information on senior specifics is so valuable, as are the deep knowledge of various injuries and health concerns and how to tackle the exercises despite health issues. I highly recommend FUNdamentals for Seniors!
Everything is explained - and shown in video - very well. I wish I had more space to leave things like a cavaletti set up all the time. And by the time I watch the whole lesson and videos, and print out the PDF (which is a GREAT bonus - so much better than taking notes!), it's often time for the next week's session. We also hike, so one day is exercise, one day is hiking. We're behind but thankfully have access if I need an online review along with the PDF. Highly recommend!
Ever since I’ve heard of Jana’s FUNdamental Conditioning a couple of years ago, I have been participating at her online-courses: for puppies, adults as well as the new senior dogs’-course.
Thanks to these courses I’ve learned so many useful exercises for my dogs to keep them physically flexible, to prevent injuries or as rehab-exercises after operations..
I like the very detailed background information at the beginning of every course (f.ex. about the “proprioseptive system”) and the easy explanation of each exercise. A lot of attention is given to the safe execution of exercises.
What I most appreciate is that Jana knows what she is talking about being an active professional physio-therapist.
Me and my dogs (from 8 months to 13 years old) have incorporated the conditioning exercises either as mini-sessions during the days at home, or during our long walks in the wood and fields. You don’t always need professional equipment: your body/legs, a wood-log, big stone, tree, your sofa, a broomstick….. do the job.
Thanks to repetition and muscle memory the dogs do them without any thinking and thus with pleasure!
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!
Keeping my dogs in top condition is really important to me – not only because that allows them to perform at their best, but also because that helps prevent injuries.
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!«
I wish instead of a like button there was a LOVE button for this page! Me and my girls love D4M, their exercises have really made a big difference to our agility!
FUNdamentals online strength and conditioning course is full of great exercises and information packed, Jana is very knowledgeable and her responses are extremely detailed.
Thank you Jana and team!

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.«
»Perfect class for building balance and strength for my dogs. Super easy to understand and very good feedback!«
