Jasey Day

Jasey is a Certified Canine Fitness Trainer. She teaches weekly group classes at a local vet clinic in Raleigh, North Carolina. She also owns and runs Day Fit Dogs, which provides canine fitness private lessons and seminar services.

Since 2004, Jasey has taught a variety of workshops, seminars, and classes on the following: Canine Fitness, Canine Swimming, Puppy, Canine Good Citizen/Family Pet, Advanced Family Pet, Rally, and Agility. In addition, Jasey has earned over 60 titles across four dogs in Dock Diving, Agility, Rally, CGC, and Trick Dog. Jasey advanced her canine fitness knowledge by being an active member of the Bobbie Lyons K9FITteam from 2018-to 2020. Jasey's Labrador Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog spend their time hiking, training, teaching classes, dock diving, herding, or doing agility.

Jasey uses "shaping, luring, and targeting (cheek, nose, chin, paws, front and hind limbs) to get the proper canine fitness movements and techniques. Different size dogs need different equipment to obtain and maintain proper form during movements and skills, which will ensure the correct muscles are engaged and strengthened." 

Jasey says, "I'm advocating for you and your dog to ensure that your dog has continued health (from puppyhood to retirement), proper coordination/proprioception, the technique and engagement to prevent injuries or minimize the severity of injuries, and the power/foundation to do the skills required for sports. Canine fitness should be functional, and it should also be a really fun way for you to mentally and physically tire your dog in minimal space and with minimal time (just 10-20 minutes in your living room a few times per week1). Besides competing with my dogs, hiking my dogs and just having them as beloved housemates is what matters to me - and I want my sweet companions to be healthy joyful pups."
