Pilates for Pooches helps train dogs and their owners
MILFORD, CONN: Dawn Lowery has a better idea. The trainer will introduce Pilates for Pooches in November, offering the six-week class at Who's Your Doggie? on Gulf Street.
Pilates is tough for people, especially those of us who are not particularly flexible, but Lowery said people have the easy part, while their canine companions balance on rubber balls or stretch their paws.
"The dog owners don't have to do Pilates (a form of ballet-based exercise), or even to know how to,'' the animal trainer said. "It's good for the dog -- it strengthens the hips of older dogs and it builds their confidence. It's also another way to bond with your dog.''
“Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart.” John Grogan
