Concerned About Your
Senior Dog's Wellbeing & Comfort?
The hardest part about loving a dog is that they will only break your heart once.
And as a fellow dog owner, I think you would agree.
Our dogs are a source of joy, love, and truthful companionship for us …
They are there for us even when nobody else is …
Always showering love onto us – and trying their best to fill our lives with fun and happy memories.
Only we dog owners can understand how wonderful selfless bundles of joy these beings are.
But you know what hurts my soul and keeps me up at night?
Watching these precious companions struggle in their senior years …
Lose all their shine, and energy …
And deal with all the pain alone.
And it hurts even more to see them living in a fairly uncomfortable state and still doing their best to please us (their beloved owners) 🥹.
But –
Is there something you can do to make things more comfortable for your senior dog and bring some joy and energy back into their lives?
Fortunately, yes!
And here is why you absolutely should –
Aging Hits Dogs Hard …
But It Doesn't Have to Be This Way
Getting older can cause A LOT of problems for any being’s body, and dogs are no different.
In fact, it looks like dogs have it worse.
As they age –
Their energy levels go down, and they slowly lose their playfulness …
Their immune system becomes compromised …
They can develop some common chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritic joint disease …
And what was once a boundless source of energy now whimpers after trying to jump onto the couch.
It hurts your soul when you remember how they once did it with such ease. 😕 And have you noticed how their pace changes?
Seniors tend to take it a bit slower, finding some activities more challenging.
But you know what pulls at the heartstrings the most.
The cognitive changes.
From separation anxiety to a touch of dementia, it can be tough for both them and us.
And when we have to leave them alone – that look they give, it’s like they’re telling us, “Hey, don’t go!” 😢
It’s also common they start losing eyesight and hearing and all this makes them more anxious, depressed and confused.
So they might become more unpredictable and start behaving strangely.
I know how it feels – sometimes handling a senior dog gets quite frustrating because of all this.
But it doesn’t have to be this way!
See …
Your senior dog still has the heart of an active canine athlete inside …
But the body and mind won’t follow on their own.
You’ll want to step in with extra attention, care, and maybe a few adjustments to their environment. 😉
This can give your dog immense relief and help them go back to being their old self.
Yes!
It’s not all doom & gloom.
With a little exercise, conditioning know-how, and some love …
You can easily level up your dog’s energy levels, reduce their discomfort, and stimulate them mentally and physically …
So they can live a more joyful, active and pain-free senior life.
By incorporating proprioceptive exercises and maintaining a steady activity level, not only do they stay physically engaged, but their minds remain sharp and active.
You might even catch them rediscovering their inner puppy-like enthusiasm. 🥰
As a result, your dog will keep a sparkle in their eyes, and you will get to enjoy quality time with them for longer.

Say goodbye to:
Instead, you will:
Say goodbye to:
- Feeling clueless about how to condition your dog for agility success and where to start.
- Going through injuries only because your dog is not conditioned well.
- Training in the same usual way that bores both you and your dog.
- Getting discouraged with poor overall agility performance.
- Feeling frustrated as your dog misses slalom entries, misplaces steps, loses balance on the dog walk, or knocks down bars.
- Watching your dog struggle with jumps, speed, and direction changes, leading to poor movement and slow starts.
- Poor regeneration due to ineffective rest and constantly tight muscles.
Instead, you will:
- Be confident that your dog (no matter the breed and age) is ready for peak agility performance.
- Relax knowing you’ve done everything to ensure your dog has a healthy and injury-free sporting career
- Train the fun way, strengthen your bond with your dog, and gift them overall health.
- Build better overall physical strength, laser-sharp focus, and endurance.
- Run the obstacle course with pinpoint accuracy by enhancing their body awareness, balance, coordination, and confidence.
- Improve brain-to-muscle connection for better acceleration, explosiveness, and takeoff power.
- Prevent fatigue, and increase motivation and enthusiasm.

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.

Thousands Of Senior Dogs Are Finding More Joy In Their Senior Years
- Will Yours Be Next?
The 3-Part Game Plan
To Prolong Your Dog's Fun Lifestyle And Make Sure They Age Smoothly
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 establish a strong foundation.
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:
Only once you’ve built a solid foundation layer, and your dog understands the criteria, you can add more challenges and incorporate exercises into your session to create a circuit and start working out.
There are 6 weeks of done-for-you guided workout plans waiting for you.
Each week comprises 3 combined full-body workouts suitable for senior and compromised dogs and 2 training opportunities to focus on your foundational exercise skills. Workouts include suggestions on repetitions for basic, intermediate, and advanced levels of difficulty, allowing you to adjust the challenge to your preference.
You have the flexibility to work at your own pace, with the goal of completing 5 training sessions lasting 5 to 10 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.

Love Our Conditioning Classes
Apart from the physical aspect of the course, there are the cognitive benefits from fitness, not to mention how much we still enjoy playing together.
I have a 15 1/2 yr old American Eskimo, Kyrja. Unfortunately, she has mild-moderate pulmonary hypertension which causes her to lose consciousness if she is excited or has overly exerted herself so cardiac exercises are difficult. We have been doing fitness exercises for a long time. For the last few years we have followed your FUNdamentals class. I credit this with Kyrja not having lost appreciable muscle mass. She is able to maintain her balance on different surfaces, and continues to go upstairs. If it weren’t for the pulmonary hypertension I am certain she could still accompany us on hikes. Having a strong core has helped prevent urinary and digestive issues.

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!

I Created this Course with Senior Dogs in Mind: Including Yours!
I Created this Course with Senior Dogs in Mind: Including Yours!
Hi, my name is Jana Gams …
I am a doctor of Veterinary Medicine, a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner & the founder of Dogs4motion.
Over the years I have worked with countless dogs on a daily basis – from athletes to puppies, to oldies.
And not only have I worked with dogs as a rehab practitioner but have also lived and worked with them as a trainer myself.
I have been an active trainer and competitor in several dog sports with my own dogs for the past 19 years!
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.
That being said, one of the most rewarding parts of it all is giving my older dogs a good quality of life and spending their retirement years pampering them. After all, they deserve it the most!
My journey and experience has helped me better understand a dog’s needs and how much they are capable of with the right mental and physical care.
I enjoy using my knowledge to help people set their dogs up for success in their older years too – showing you just how much life your oldies have in them if their mind and body is well taken care of.
Watching Your Dog Slow Down: I Know It Is Painful
It is hard to see their physical abilities decline when you still view them as that capable, active, young dog.
Sometimes our dogs don’t even recognise their age yet either, making it hard for them to slow down when they are convinced they can still take on the world.
But, age is a beautiful thing too. It doesn’t have to be about:
Painfully watching your dog’s physical abilities deteriorate …
Restricting their activity levels against their will …
Feeling like you’re neglecting them.
You can make it about fulfilling your older dog’s golden years, savoring the bond you have, and embracing the harmony and unity you have cultivated over the years.
Old age comes with its challenges, but it can also bring many rewarding moments.
I would know, I have been there with my first dog Tery. My dog Brie is now in her senior years and Genie herself is also steadily approaching them. And despite the occasional hardships, I adore senior dogs and all their quirks.
My Tery reached the beautiful age of 16 years and it was not always easy.
The hardest part for me will always be knowing that our dog’s lives are absolutely too short.
BUT that does not mean that we cannot make the most of it.
Your dog’s older years do not have to be debilitating!
Create The Rewarding Moments Yourself
I found that consistent low-impact activity, conditioning exercises, and mental challenges can make a significant difference for both you and your senior dog.
These small investments can help your dog stay sharp, physically capable and full of life, even as they age.
Tery enjoyed his old age to the fullest, and I intend to ensure the same for my Brie, Genie and all my other dogs as they grow older, by investing my time and energy into taking care of their mental and physical well-being.
I am sure my dogs will never go without these activities when they get older, because I see the changes I can make. When it is so simple to raise my dog’s quality of life and wellbeing you can be sure I will never skip it!
And you can make the same positive impact with your dog and the program I have set up for you in just 5-10 short minutes a day!
With my help and just a little bit of your time you’ll be able to strengthen your dog’s proprioception, balance, their muscle strength, and their range of motion – which are all the things that start to deteriorate first as your dog ages.
I also find that conditioning work for older dogs can help them find and maintain that youthful spark. My dogs love this work and I can see that puppy-like enthusiasm light up again with the small, attainable, and fun challenges that come with conditioning and proprioceptive work.
This course will also give you the unique opportunity to spend time having fun with your dog every day, doing what they love, but also keeping them happy and healthy.
Most importantly, you will get to make the most of your time together!
