As I ease back into my routine with Makoa, I’m reminded that building a solid relationship with your dog is a journey, rather than a destination. If you’re ready to strengthen your dog’s confidence and movement while deepening your bond, come join us for:

Upcoming Events:
Golden Retriever Playdate – March 16th 12pm-1pm for all well behaved and friendly goldens! (Limited to 6 families)
K9 Fit Time Walks – 2nd & 4th Wednesdays & Sundays – A supportive way to connect with your dog through movement and adventure! RSVP link in the bio.

Your dog trusts you to show up, guide them, and grow together. Let’s make that relationship even stronger!

The Colorado Association of Certified Veterinary Technicians (CACVT) opposes the creation of a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA) and Proposition 129.

While voting may be winding down, we wanted to share a recent article from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) regarding the concerns for Colorado's Proposition 129 that featured CACVT's Executive Director, Erin Henninger. Please find the article below, along with CACVT's official position statement regarding this proposition.

Dog movement patterns can be both simple and complex, but they all tell a story about your dog’s health and fitness!

At K9 Fitness Works, we encourage you to pay attention to how your dog moves, whether it's a basic walk or more complex movements like a fast run or an agility jump. These patterns reveal key information about their strength, coordination, and potential discomfort. Small shifts, like uneven steps or changes in gait, could be early signs of weakness or pain.

By watching how your dog moves during play, training, or even rest, you’ll learn how to spot when something is off and get help to keep them in top shape! We always have free 15 minute consults to help you on the right path.
Let’s make fitness fun and keep our dogs moving strong!

At K9 Fitness Works my passion is improving your dog's health, from nail trims to building strength! These certifications empower me to provide the best care, whether it's helping a dog recover from injury or fine-tuning their fitness for an active, happy life. Your dog's well-being is always my top priority and I'm honored to be part of their journey to better health and stronger connection with you!

A happy dog is a heard dog!

Just like us, our dogs need to be understood and feel connected. When your dog’s physical and mental needs are met, you’ll notice a calmer, more content companion. At K9 Fitness Works, we believe that listening to your dog’s body cues—whether it's a need for rest, a good play session, or some exercise—builds trust and strengthens your bond.

If your dog is restless or stressed, it could be their way of telling you they need more movement or stimulation. Let’s help them be heard! Adding simple exercises or mental games to your daily routine can transform their energy into happiness and balance while building a stronger relationship.

A strong body, a calm mind, and a deeper connection—because a happy dog is always a heard dog.

Do you agree?

I wanted to share the pillars of K9 Fitness Works as we emerge from healing. Keeping your dog happy and healthy starts with a strong foundation! Our approach revolves around four essential pillars: Fitness, Environment, Relationship, and Nutrition.

Fitness: Exercises that mimic everyday activities to keep your dog strong.
Environment: Everyday equipment that supports their fitness.
Relationship: Building a stronger bond between you and your dog is key to success.
Nutrition: Vitamins and minerals that fuel their body for peak performance.

When these foundations come together, you get a happy, thriving pup! Ready to build your dog's best life? Let's get started! For more weekly tips join our newsletter.
