We ask a lot of our dogs when they train and compete. Fitness is how we help them stay strong, confident, and prepared to meet those demands.
This three-hour, hands-on Sweaty Paws seminar is designed for teams who are already training or competing in sports such as agility, obedience, flyball, dock diving, barn hunt, or similar activities and want to support their dogs in a thoughtful, proactive way.
You and your dog will work through targeted exercises that build strength, improve proprioception, and support a healthy range of motion. We will also cover practical warm up and cool down routines that can be added before and after training sessions or competition days. The focus is on helping dogs move efficiently, recover well, and maintain balance as workloads increase.
This workshop helps dogs feel joyful, confident, and stronger in their work while giving handlers tools to train thoughtfully and progressively.
Who This Seminar Is For
* Owners with dogs currently training or competing in a sport
* Teams looking to add structured fitness to their training routine
* Adult (18 months or older) and senior dogs who are healthy and cleared for sport activity
* Dogs who are comfortable working in a group environment

Info About Darcy Roessler
I have spent more than 25 years training dogs and learning alongside wonderful teams who simply love working with their dogs. I founded Sweaty Paws to share that passion for thoughtful conditioning and to help everyday handlers and sport teams build strong, confident, and happy partners. I hold two canine fitness certifications, CCFT and CPCFT, but what matters most to me is understanding the joy and challenges that come with training an active dog. I currently share life with two Golden Retrievers who hunt, dock dive, barn hunt, and play agility, so I truly understand the commitment and excitement that comes with sport dogs. With a lifelong background in athletics including soccer, basketball, volleyball, and marathon running, I bring a team mindset to canine conditioning that focuses on support, steady progress, and celebrating the journey together.
