Active Ageing For Senior Dogs
Help Your Dog Stay Comfortable, Active & Happy in Their Golden Years
As our dogs get older, we often put changes like slowing down, struggling with stairs, or avoiding walks down to “just getting old.” But many of these changes are linked to physical discomfort, and catching them early can help you support your dog before they need veterinary treatment.
Our Senior Dog sessions are designed specifically for older dogs, combining gentle movement, balance work, and fun enrichment activities to support their physical and mental wellbeing.
What Is The Benefit Of These Sessions?
🐾 Improve Mobility & Strength – Help your dog stay active with safe, low-impact exercises tailored to senior joints and muscles.
🧠 Keep Their Mind Sharp – Fun enrichment activities engage your dog's brain and prevent cognitive decline.
💛 Boost Confidence & Comfort – Support your dog’s independence by improving balance, coordination, and body awareness.
🐕 Gentle & Supportive Environment – Small class sizes ensure your dog gets individual attention, and all exercises are adapted to their ability.
What To Expect
Each session includes:
✔️ Gentle, low-impact exercises to maintain strength and mobility
✔️ Balance and coordination work to prevent slips and injuries
✔️ Fun enrichment activities to engage your dog’s brain
✔️ A relaxed, positive environment to encourage movement without pressure
Who Are These Sessions For?
✔️ Dogs aged 7+ years (or younger if they have mobility challenges)
✔️ Dogs who are slowing down but still enjoy activity
✔️ Owners who want to support their dog’s long-term mental and physical wellbeing
✔️ Dogs who are cleared for light exercise by their vet

“Marley and I attended this workshop today. Marley is 11 years old and doing great. I wanted to learn more about how I can help Marley as he gets older. I just lost a 16 year old cockerpoo ❤️🐾❤️ and really want to learn how I can help my Marley as best as I can. Tracey was amazing. Her knowledge is immense and Marley had such a great time. He’s clueless that he’s moving into the older gent zone and approached every activity with enthusiasm. The workshop made me think about how much we don’t know and how much more we can do for our dogs… without huge expense, just knowledge. Thanks so much for this workshop. I’m looking forward to attending more. Marley’s health and well being is my priority. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏”
