NOTE: THIS COURSE WILL NOW START ON 4/1/15: On January 22, March 22nd registration opens for the first ever online Tripawd Fitness and Conditioning Class, which kicks off on February 1 April 1 -- but only IF we can get at least six participants to enroll.

Learn Tripawd fitness.

Thanks to the Fenzi Online Dog Sports Academy and world-renowned canine fitness expert, Dr. Debbie Gross, DPT, MSPT, Diplomat ABPTS, CCRP, now Tripawd pawrents can learn how to safely and effectively keep a canine Tripawd lean and strong, all from home in a go-at-your-own-pace online class.

You can enroll at three different levels:

FenziCoursesImage Enlarger

  • The Gold Level offers the most interaction with Dr. Gross by enabling you to post questions and upload videos for feedback and comments by her and the entire class.
  • The Silver Level comes close to matching that level of instructor access as well,
  • And even if you sign up at Bronze Level, the course is extremely helpful since it allows you to download the lessons, read and watch student and teacher interaction that will benefit your own Tripawd fitness goals.

Whatever level you choose, you’ll learn everything necessary for helping your Tripawd live a fit, healthy, hoppy life. Through weekly course lectures, homework and Discussion Forums, you’ll obtain step-by-step ways you can improve and maintain your Tripawd’s fitness level.

Tripawd Wyatt gets fit

Although it helps if you have purchased recommended FitPAWS canine conditioning tools, not all assignments require this gear. Should you decide to purchase it, we hope you'll consider getting yours in the Tripawds Gear store!

Remember, January March 22nd is registration day for
the first ever Tripawd Fitness and Conditioning Class!

See you at school!

Mary that is so cool! Can't wait to see you in class.

For others interested in ordering the K9 Fit Bone, it is on back order just until 1/20. You can place your order now here in the Tripawds Gear Store, and we'll make sure you're on the list to receive one.

Although gear is not required to participate in the course (there are many things around the house you can improvise with), it is helpful. Here is a list of conditioning gear that will be used in the course.

Looking forward to finally taking this!  You sound like you're still worried that we won't have enough people sign up. Any chance people can say if they plan on signing up for this?  Has anyone cross posted this to the yahoo bone cancer list?  Can we?

IMO, the class is a bargain!  If you go to a rehab center for your dog, you will pay between $60 to $100 PER session with 2 to 3 sessions per week required.  Plus gas and time to drop off and pickup.

So glad you're going to enroll! Thank you. Well, I guess I'm sounding nervous because you never know, life tends to happen when we think we can pay for stuff like this so until we actually have at least 6 enrolees I will remain a little nervous. I am so excited at the though of this happening.

And yes, we would LOVE it if others cross posted it! Thanks!

Agreed, the class is definitely a bargain, and to be able to take it with Dr. Gross? Priceless!

Is this course a go?   I've gone to the Fenzi site and don't see it offered.

Thanks,

Kurt

I want to take this so bad!! I'll have to crunch some numbers to see if I'll be able to though. Paws crossed!

I believe so. We still dont' have six gold-level students so if you can help spread the word that would be fantastic.
