HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once you’ve joined, you’ll get access to your membership page so you can get started right away.
- Begin by registering, if you are new to Avidog, or logging in, if you are already an Avidog member.
- Once on the membership page, begin by watching the assessment and exercise concept videos. You can also download the audio files or transcripts, if you’d rather listen or read.
- Then do the Fit For Life Fitness and Body Condition Assessment with your dog.
- After the assessment, you’ll receive your dog’s individualized fitness program to download and print.
- From there, review the specific exercise videos for your program and create your dog’s training schedule.
- Try to train 5-15 minutes a day, 5 days a week so you’ll be prepared with questions or issues for the monthly live calls.
- Repeat your dog’s Fit For Life Fitness and Body Condition Assessment to see the progress the two of you have made and get an updated fitness program each month.
Gather the gear and treats you’ll need, and go to work!
