Frequently Asked Questions

Walks are wonderful and important, but they mainly provide light cardio. They do not build the strength, core stability, and balance that keep a dog healthy, mobile, and injury-resistant as they age.

Woof-Fit is designed so you and your dog get a real, full-body workout together: you build your own strength and fitness while your dog gains strength, balance, focus, and confidence. Beyond the physical benefits, the synchronized movements deepen your bond and can help channel your dog's energy into calmer, more focused behavior.

Woof-Fit was created by Sarit Netanel, a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Health Coach, and Certified Canine Fitness Trainer (CCFT).
That combination means every workout is built on solid fitness principles for you and safe, science-based conditioning for your dog, so you can trust that what you're both doing is effective, healthy, and appropriate at every stage. It's a rare program designed by someone qualified to coach both ends of the leash.

Not at all. Every exercise comes with clear guidance and modifications to make it easier or harder, so whether you're just starting out or already active, you can work at your own level alongside your dog.

No prior training is required. The series gradually builds your dog's skills using simple, reward-based cues and includes short tutorials that teach the basics of luring — an easy technique that uses treats to guide your dog into a position or movement — for commands like sit, down, weave, touch, and paw, so you can both learn as you go.

Yes! The current series is designed to work for most dogs, whatever their breed. If you have a puppy, a senior, or an extra-large or extra-small pup, you may need to modify a few of the exercises to suit them, but you'll still be able to do the majority of the workouts together.

Absolutely! Woof-Fit is a great place to start. The exercises include low-impact options and modifications, so you can begin gently and build up safely as your dog gets fitter. If your dog is significantly overweight or has any health concerns, a quick vet check before starting is always a good idea.

Yes, and those dogs often benefit the most. The structure and reward-based approach give high-energy dogs a productive outlet, and the focus-building exercises help distractible dogs tune in to you over time. Many owners notice their dog is calmer and more attentive as a result.

This is actually one of the best things about Woof-Fit: it's done at home, one-on-one, with just you and your dog and no other dogs around. That makes it a calm, low-stress way for reactive or anxious dogs to exercise, build focus, and gain confidence at their own pace.

Yes! Many households train more than one dog. You can work with them one at a time or together once they've got the hang of it; the cues and exercises stay the same. (It's often easiest to start with one dog at a time, then bring the others in)

Treats and optional dumbbells, resistance band, balance pad and yoga mat.  Most workouts use minimal, affordable gear, and we offer modifications if you don't have a specific item yet.

Yes. Most workouts need only enough room for a mat and a few steps in each direction, so a living room or small apartment works perfectly, no yard or gym required.

The series includes 6 workouts, each runs about 25-35 minutes, and we recommend following the suggested calendar for the best results, starting with 3 times per week,  but you can go at whatever pace fits your schedule.

Safety is built into every routine, with age- and size-appropriate movements and low-impact options. That said, if your dog is pregnant, injured, very young, or has any health condition, please check with your vet before starting, and we always recommend easing in gradually.

It's a great question, and the answer is no. When done right, treat-based training won't derail your dog's weight loss, even if your dog needs to slim down. The key is using tiny, low-calorie treats (pea-sized is plenty) and counting them as part of your dog's daily food, not as extra on top. Many owners simply set aside a portion of their dog's regular food to use as workout rewards. Combined with the activity these workouts add and the muscles the dogs are building, most dogs actually move toward a healthier weight.

We offer a 10-day money-back guarantee. If the program isn't right for you and your dog, contact us for a full refund.
