Basic to Coach Course - ALL IN ONE - English Program
From Beginner to Professional Loop Training
If you’re passionate about fitness exercises, target training, and clean, step-by-step training setups, you’re going to love Fitness Loops!
Fitness Loops are a form of course work in which dogs trot through various pieces of equipment in a smooth sequence while being guided through subtle body cues from their handler. This creative activity incorporates all aspects of functional training, making it a holistic, body-aware workout for dogs.
Through the combination of static and dynamic elements, dogs develop coordination, self-regulation, and body awareness. At the same time, you’ll learn how to guide your dog from a distance, send sequences, and work with precise, minimal cues. Standard equipment such as cavaletti, platforms, wobble boards, and more is used.
If you’d like to offer Fitness Loops in your dog training school or practice, the Fitness-Loops Coach Basic course is the perfect step! You’ll start as a beginner, learn essential handling techniques, build structured courses, deepen your training knowledge, and learn how to guide dog–handler teams professionally.
Cancellation Policy
If the booked in-person session cannot be attended, there is no entitlement to a free replacement date. Only one in-person date is offered for this course.
In this case, it is possible to secure a place in a subsequent course. However, this requires payment of an additional €875 fee for the in-person module.
We strongly recommend taking out appropriate cancellation or seminar insurance to protect against potential financial loss.
