Why would anyone do fitness for their dog?
In this episode we talk about how INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT can help you and your dog live a LONG, HEALTHY, and HAPPY LIFE. We get into details about how dog fitness changes the physical structures in the body, and how "USE IT OR LOSE IT" applies to more things than we would like.
