EVERYONE HAS A PURPOSE
EVERYONE HAS A PURPOSE
Sometimes you know what you’re hardwired to do…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a special connection with animals – especially dogs and horses.
Well, fast forward a few years and I found myself working on the medical side of the horse business. From Florida to Kentucky to California, I worked at commercial horse farms with hundreds of horses with no nearby equine hospital or veterinarians. If a medical emergency happened, it was my job to handle it until the farm veterinarian arrived.
While I loved working with horses, there was never a day off, and I began looking for something different. Eventually I traded horse handling for bartending. When the world shut down in 2020, I knew it was now or never.
On March 19th, two days after Illinois closed all bars & restaurants, Canine Athletics was born, and I’ve never looked back.
Your dog is meant to be an athlete.
Throughout my educational and professional career, I saw a consistent trend across all species of animals.
Animals are physically and mentally healthier when they’re allowed to do what they are biologically hardwired to do.
Despite domestication, genetics still play a role in your dog’s personality. Every breed of dog is meant to do a different “job” – herd, hunt, track, swim, retrieve, etc.
Without a physical outlet, this unspent energy manifests as problems for both you and your dog.
This can look like obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anxiety, lethargy, aggression, and more. Your dog isn’t bad; your dog is just bored.
Your dog needs the freedom to be a dog, not just your favorite couch cuddler.
At Canine Athletics, your dog gets the freedom to unleash his “inner dog.”

What Dog Parents Are Saying…
The convenience that you offer by picking him up and dropping him off truly is a godsend with my busy schedule. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog besides you!
