After a long winter of not much exercise, it is no surprise when both dog and dog owner puts on a few extra pounds. If you were already fighting the battle of weight prior to winter, now summertime, it can be a bit disparaging when considering different options on how to lose weight. Well if you are a dog owner and wanting to get yourself and your dog into great shape, there has always been both human and canine fitness programs, however I came across this program that combines the two. Located in Los Angeles, the Thank Dog Boot Camp, an outdoor fitness program that combines dog obedience, weight training, cardiovascular exercise, and nutritional guidelines for dogs and owners was created.
President and co-founder Jill Bowers developed the program to help owners and dogs get healthy together. The human/canine boot camp is staffed by a certified fitness trainer and two dog obedience trainers. The professionals work with both you and your dog to reach your individual goals. So if your goal is to drop 20 pounds or more, and your goal for your dog is to learn to sit, stay, obey, etc. the Thank Dog Boot Camp will help you reach your goals.
From the Thank Dog Boot Camp website:
“This is not a cutesy workout. We don't just add your dog to run around with, nor do we do agility. We're the most organized, SAFE yet challenging dog/owner program out there today. This is a boot camp! Dogs are always in a command (that we teach at the consultation) and the owner is ALWAYS moving. If you want to lose weight and/or tone up and have a dog (trained or untrained, fat or skinny) or want to borrow one- join us! We have ALL fitness levels and body sizes. EVERYONE FITS IN!”
Check them out if you are in the Los Angeles area and looking to do a little trimming, toning for you or your dog or extra training for your dog.

I wish we had one of these in our neck of the woods. My dog and I could both benefit from it for sure. I swear every fall that it's not going to happen and every spring, I realize that it has!
