Canine Revival, LLC - Canine Fitness - St Paul, MN
Canine activity levels can vary greatly from dog to dog but they all have one thing in common – they need EXERCISE!
Your dog will have FUN at my fitness, massage, and training center located in White Bear Lake!
While our family dog may only participate in sports like squirrel chasing, backyard zoomies, and power loafing on the sofa, exercise is vitally important to keep them healthy and fit. A well-conditioned dog is healthier overall and has less chance of injury, age-related muscle atrophy, and mental decline – plus, it’s FUN!
Canine athletes will benefit greatly from exercises that target the muscles needed for their preferred sport to help reduce sports-related injuries. You’ll be amazed at the results which are evident in increased performance!
Rehabilitation and reconditioning are especially important after surgery or injury. We will work with your veterinarian to determine the right time to begin a fitness and conditioning program that will assist your dog in becoming even stronger than before!
Indoor fitness training is also the perfect option when the weather outside is too hot or too cold.
BONUS! You’ll enjoy having a tired and happy dog after only a short session at the dog gym!
These fitness programs are proven to build strength AND provide mental stimulation, which is so important to the health and well-being of your dog.

Always work with the dog in front of you. Don't make generalizations about dogs or certain breeds of dogs. While most dogs have a few things in common, each dog is an individual :)
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
I started working with dogs at the age of 11 as a volunteer at the humane Society in St Paul. By age 13, they offered me a job as the Saturday adoption desk lead employee. From there, my life and passions have revolved around dogs! In the veterinary field, I've been a vet tech, surgical assistant, treatment tech, and xray tech. I am certified in Canine Massage & Canine Fitness and am a Professional Dog Trainer. I am also an AKC-approved Canine Good Citizen trainer & evaluator and I work with Veteran's through an amazing organization called Train a Dog-Save a Warrior, helping veteran's train their own service dog!
