Nancy Hoffman
I love Carolyn and her approach to fitness and find her material interesting and easy to follow. And she does a great job of keeping you motivated to learn more and do the exercises with your dog.
Elisabeth Fritz
The exercises are easy to do (even on a budget) and the community is one of the most supportive groups to be in. The instructors are very inclusive and always willing to help figure out ways for you and your dog to continue to progress.
Gerda Veltkamp
Video feedback was amazing... The layout was easy to follow and refer back to. Explanation and video of each exercise was priceless. Common training issues encountered when training the exercises was really good.
Emily Walsh
Very detailed on how to complete each exercise, the coaches are extremely helpful and there is no pressure to move past what your dog can do. If you are more experienced there are lots of modifications and exercises to work your dog at their current level of fitness!
Emma Morton
A well thought out and content rich program that takes you from the foundations to more advanced skills and beyond. Not just focused on your dog, it gives you the tools to grow on the journey.
Christine Ryder
My experience with Functional Fitness was uplifting and encouraging. It is so important for canine athletes to be involved in a fitness program for longevity in their lives and their sports.
Kathleen King
This program encouraged me to be more aware of my training skills, helped me improve my handler mechanics, and provided a fun way for my dog and me to learn together. Carolyn provides a tremendous wealth of knowledge and expertise, and I am a much better handler and training partner since working through the program.
Erin Rudd
It was so amazing and my dogs and I have learned so much!! Wyatt is looking so much stronger and Kona is starting to have confidence on the equipment which is a huge deal for her. I feel much more confident in my training abilities as well. Thank you for providing such a great resource!
