Beyond April: Keep the Canine Fitness Momentum Going

April was all about movement, muscle, and motivation—and we loved seeing so many of you getting active with your dogs for Canine Fitness Month. From creative workouts in tight spaces to epic sniffari strolls, pups everywhere got their hearts pumping and tails wagging.

But just because April’s over doesn’t mean it’s time to hit paws on fitness.

Fitness Is a Year-Round Lifestyle (With Treats, Obviously)

Staying active doesn’t have to mean running marathons or mastering canine CrossFit. It’s about consistency—daily walks, short training sessions, or a few minutes of play. And it pays off.

📊 Fun fact:

• Dogs who get regular physical activity are 3x more likely to maintain a healthy weight.
• Just 15–30 minutes of moderate movement a day can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and help prevent long-term health issues.
• Active dogs = longer lives (and more adventures together).

Keep the Momentum Going

Here are a few easy ways to keep your dog moving well beyond April:

🐾 Walk with purpose: Mix up your routes, change your pace, and build endurance slowly.
🐾 Make movement a game: Tug, fetch, hide-and-seek, or short training bursts = exercise + enrichment.
🐾 Log your activity: Use a whiteboard or app to track walks, workouts, or new skills.
🐾 Use your gear: The KLIMB and Propel aren’t just for April—they’re built for year-round fun and fitness.

Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection

Every dog (and human) is on their own journey. Some days will be full of energy, and others will feel more like cuddle-on-the-couch days. That’s okay. What matters is building a habit of movement, bonding, and joy—together.

Here’s to stronger bodies, sharper minds, and wagging tails all year long.
