What Level Are the Exercises? Foundation exercises with more advanced exercise options will be shown. So if you are a beginner to fitness you will learn the foundations and how to start the exercises. If your dog is experienced, your dog will be challenged with more advanced options.
Equipment: Most exercises will be using 2 balance pads, and 2 different sized feed buckets. Advanced Exercises will use balance equipment. I will use Fitbones but you can use any balance equipment that is appropriate for the exercise and your dog. There are many possible equipment options using household items such as your couch cushions!
