Pilates for Pooches
The Pilates for Pooches DVD will show you how to use our favorite conditioning tool, the FitPAWS Balance Disc as well as the FitPAWS Balance Pad. This DVD presents a combination of lecture, outline and demonstration videos to guide you through this core strengthening and conditioning program step-by-step.
You will learn how to teach your dog to move from its core while actively stretching and strengthening its muscles by using various balance training tools. Sarah Johnson, M.A., Exercise Physiologist, was one of the first to bring human Pilates to Northern California in 1990. Using similar concepts, she has now designed a simple, progressive home exercise program for healthy dogs.
These bonuses are included with your purchase:
- Getting Started with a Puppy
- Three printable PDF documents that summarize information from the video: conditioning guidelines, exercise outlines, and a log for monitoring your dog’s progress.

Get on the Ball Two
Developed and demonstrated by Dr. Debbie Gross Saunders, a licensed physical therapist and a certified canine rehabilitation practitioner with over 15 years experience in the field, this DVD shows how to use core conditioning equipment like the FitPAWS® Peanut and FitPAWS® Egg.
Your Tripawd needs the strength to perform daily activities with as little risk of injury as possible. Many dogs are lacking strength in their core muscle group: the lower back and abdominals. In nonperformance dogs, the first place we see weakness as the dog ages, is in the hind end and lower back. Working your dog on a stability ball, FitPAWS® Peanut or Egg ball is an excellent and safe way to develop these muscles, which will aid in the reduction and prevention of problems.
The Get on the Ball Two DVD provides four easy-to-follow programs: puppy, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Besides providing detailed demonstrations of each program with experienced dogs, the DVD also includes an actual seminar held for ball work novices.
