FitPaws strength and conditioning products are available now in our store!
We believe all dogs benefit from core strength and conditioning. We challenge our K9 athletes daily to run, jump, twist and soar and want them to be in their best condition possible to avoid injuries.

Dogs are made to move! Fit Paws helps them stay that way!

Recommended by Top Canine Fitness and Rehabilitation experts worldwide!

Every athlete requires conditioning and cross training, and canine athletes are no exception. When competing in agility, flyball, dock diving or any canine sport, your dog has to use their entire body to jump, twist, run and turn, all while moving at full speed. This means they need greater amounts of strength, endurance, power, balance, proprioception and flexibility than the average dog. Your dog’s fitness level is a key contributor to success and the proper exercise regimen can make all the difference.

32° out on an early may weekend was unexpected, but we all had such a good time anyway for the workshop. Fable made some huge progress and I couldn’t be more proud of her. I finally faded the ball lure thanks to some gentle prodding from
“Get that ball out from under your arm before I TAKE IT FROM YOU”

Fable definitely thought every day was the best day ever 🥹

FMBB….. what is the future?

I've been competing in World Championships since 2007. There's always been politics involved, both in FCI and FMBB.

Sometimes, I might have had a shot at winning if the judge had been someone else. Another time, I might have been second, with someone else taking the top spot. As a competitor, I couldn't control that, so I learned to compete just against myself and be satisfied if we placed in the top three.

The reason I got involved in FMBB activities was to try to influence making the FMBB World Championship a better and fairer competition, where everyone would have an equal opportunity to succeed.

Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in my goals. I suggested using two judges in the World Cup to prevent bias. I felt that with two judges, it would be harder for a chief judge to influence the outcome compared to just one. The judges shouldn't discuss among themselves, neither in the World Cup nor in the final; instead, they should give their scores directly to the secretary.

This year, FMBB reverted to using just one judge, and that decision was a total failure. Many competitors from different countries shared stories of unfair judging, describing how the chief judge influenced scoring, and I witnessed several instances myself. It was maddening.

I'm not one to shout profanities at judges from the stands, but I understand why some did after the final performance. The judges certainly knew what an excellent performance is, yet they scored differently, in front of everyone.

It was crystal clear that if the handler had been Miss Nobody From Country You Really Don’t Care About, the same dog would have received a score of Very Good, 93 points. Possibly even less. This is so insulting.

I felt ashamed to be a member of the FMBB IGP commission. I've had this feeling for years, but what happened at the Championship was the last straw.

I've long felt ignored by the FMBB board and the IGP committee. Despite making suggestions for improvement, I was told to keep silent and focus only on my discipline. It has been frustrating.

How can we change things?

One option is to stop competing at FMBB and create something new, something better. However, we love Belgian shepherds, we love IGP, and we love the exciting Finals where the top 20 competitors prove their skills twice. So it feels like we would abandon something that could be great if we wanted to.

Another option is to not give up hope with FMBB but step forward instead. The board and the committees either should start listening to us competitors or we should replace them with people who will.

Ultimately, FMBB is shaped by who we choose to represent us. The board is elected every five years, and in the next FMBB general assembly, we'll have a chance to vote for new people who genuinely want to improve dog sports.

Shall we quit or shall we unite? What's your choice?
