Get yourself, get your dog, and get in shape. Join Personal Trainer Sal Sloan and Dog Trainer Ola Zalewski in Toronto’s first dog-owner boot camp. You actually workout alongside your dog, while he brushes up on his obedience!

You’ll learn methods that create a reliable response from your dog, and obtain tips throughout the class to help you maintain control of your canine friend. We will lead you through an hour of strength and cardio exercises that you and your dog do together. By the end of class, you’ll have improved your dog’s obedience, be feeling energized, and have a pup who’s exhausted and smiling!

All classes are FREE. Please arrive 15 mins before scheduled class time with a 6-foot leash, your dog, comfortable clothing / athletic shoes, and a smile! No equipment necessary.
