Learn how to help your dog become stronger and more competitive through exercises and information that improve their physical performance and reduce the risk of injuries.
Get the results you want.
I have learned a lot from strength training about my dog. It has improved his resilience to injury, made him more able to readily control parts of his body, and strengthened parts that needed improvement. All this enhances his ability to perform in IGP.
The strength training must be tailored to the sport he is doing—that is where you shine.

The Biokinetic K9 - Building stronger K9 athletes
Have you been told, "Your dog is just being lazy" during a training session?
It's happened to me, too.
Have you ever thought that your dog might be struggling to "perform as they normally do" because of some of their muscles are weak or tight? Did you know that how we train creates muscle imbalances in our dogs?
I never thought about this or even knew about it.
But this happens with a lot of K9 trainers.
Sport training can have negative effects on your dog's flexibility and strength. The good news is that it can be improved far more easily than you imagined.
Quickly build your dog's strength by working on a few areas often. It only takes 20 minutes, three to four times a week, to start seeing positive results.
Go on an exciting adventure of discovery about your dog with us.

What Owners of Stronger K9 Athletes say
She changed my ways of looking at dogs forever and I’m extremely grateful for that! It shows that obviously, you can learn an “old dog” new tricks.
