Sarah Keller CPCFT, CCFT, CCBW, NASM-CES, CPDT-KA Sarah has spent over 10 years studying advanced human fitness ranging from long distance running, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and pre-habilitation exercise. She has first hand experience on just how important a well designed exercise program is in improving quality of life. In 2017 Sarah traveled to Chicago to learn more about the benefits that fitness has for our dogs, and she is now a Multi-Certified Canine Fitness Trainer, with certifications through both Fenzi Dog Sports Academy and The University of Tennessee. Through the extensive study of canine fitness, Sarah realized that a missing piece to helping dogs feel and move at their best was canine massage therapy, which aids to provide relief of muscular tension and restore mobility. From 2021-2022 Sarah completed the in-person training, case studies, and exam to become a Certified Canine Body Worker (Massage). In 2022, Sarah completed The National Academy of Sports Medicine ‘s Corrective Exercise Specialist program, which leverages an understanding of anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics to address movement compensations & imbalances in order to improve overall quality of movement and reduce the risk of injuries. Sarah also became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) in 2022, through passing a comprehensive exam and demonstrating over 300 hours of dog training experience. It is through this combined understanding of canine conditioning, corrective exercise strategies, dog massage, and canine behavior, that Sarah is able to assess canine posture and movement, while creating tailored exercise programs to help improve dog’s quality of life. |
