The course was a breakthrough for me in many respects. It took my level of client relations to a whole new level. I am delighted with the entire process that you have to go through while taking the course. You start with solid foundations, on which you add subsequent layers of knowledge, until you move through client management and finally the entire business. I haven’t seen another such comprehensive approach. I am very happy that I managed to complete this course and I hope that one day I will be able to expand my knowledge under the supervision of Debbie and Tara.

The course included everything I had imagined. Anatomy, examples of exercises for different muscle groups, but also tips on how to properly run your business. Tara and Debbie were helpful, motivating, always gave good advice and feedback on my practical tasks was always immediate and beneficial with advice and tips. I am glad that I was able to complete this journey even though the language barrier was sometimes challenging. Now I am really looking forward to being able to use my newly acquired knowledge in practice. Thanks again to both of amazing ladies.

The course was very well organized. The materials were well arranged and easy to comprehend. I appreciated the timing of the course allowing students to self organize the studying schedule within the week. The course provided me with a huge amount of precious information on structure and gait analysis, recording documentation and useful online tools. It drew attention to many important details in the whole process of taking care of the client, both the human and the dog. Thanks to the course I feel confident in building a professional conditioning plan for my clients. I’m grateful for the supportive attitude and thoughtful feedback constantly provided by Tara and Debbie from the first assignment to the final exam.

I started the journey to become a CPCFT over a year ago. This course was easy to follow, excellently prepared lessons and instructors were very accessible. As a very new person in this field, I never once felt ‘a step behind’ in my learning. All homework assignments were pertinent to the lessons. The feed back from instructors was incredibly fast. When it came time to start my case studies, I felt I was 100% prepared for each phase of the case study and flowed through with my clients almost seamlessly. Again, feedback on every case study was quick and full of helpful suggestions. The instructors never stopped encouraging all of us. The time spent in the past year taught me more than I could have ever imagined! Truly grateful for finding and participating in this course.

I’m glad I pushed myself to take and make it through this course. I already have my CCFT designation and have been operating a business for a bit, but continuing education is important for both my success as well as my clients. This course reinforced things I’d already learned and taught me new things to embrace. Both Tara and Deb were accessible, responsive and encouraging throughout the entire journey.

“I can highly recommend the CPCFT course. The material is very well put together and the used platform works well. The units are building on each other to ensure that the beginner can be successful and the more advanced students deepen their knowledge. I appreciated the detailed personal feedback to the assignments a lot. Tara and Debbie are both available to answer questions, give valuable feedback and encouragement. After completing the course I feel equipped to be able to make a positive difference for the dogs and owners in my community.”

– Manuela Pike, CPCFT

For the last few years, I have been interested in learning about canine fitness, and Tara’s and Debbie’s coaching and teachings did not disappoint. Apart from being extremely knowledgeable in the field, they are both, by far, the most supportive and encouraging instructors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I now have greater compassion and awareness for dogs’ posture and movement. Plus, the empowerment that comes from understanding how to positively impact dogs’ physical strength, balance, flexibility, and proprioception. This course has been invaluable and has forever shaped how I observe and work with dogs. I hope to contribute to this amazing field!

– C.M., CPCFT

The course was very well thought out and put together. The pacing was great especially for the uninitiated like me. Feedback throughout the course was really helpful and certainly helped me improve my skills. Overall, would definitely recommend this course to any aspiring canine fitness trainer!

– Webster C., CPCFT

I had obtained my CCFT before coming into this program, but was not feeling strong enough in my skills to include conditioning into my existing canine bodywork business. Tara, Deb, and the CPCFT program provided in-depth information in fitness and conditioning, helped improve the areas where I needed strength, and have enhanced my skillset and confidence to bring this work to my practice. I’m so excited to share my new tools in this work with my clients to continue helping them feel and be their best.

I am so pleased I took the CPCFT course, it has been hard but amazing. I have learnt so much and really appreciate the support provided by Tara & Debbie. The course is very well organised and professional. I look forward to following my true passion and helping owners with their dogs fitness in the future.

– Judith Parkinson, CPCFT

The CPCFT is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and when I heard that the course was being updated I knew I had to apply. Thankfully for me I got accepted into the very first Cohort of the revamped course. A huge learning curve for me, but all the content was presented in such a way that you could easily revisit them to revise. Each unit built upon the previous one to help increase your knowledge and the inclusion of so many videos, photos and diagrams was extremely helpful. Tara and Debbie have been so forthcoming with their knowledge and skills and I was very grateful to be able to spend some time with both of them in Canada and US in August this year. Looking forward now to putting my skills into practice.
