HuffysFIT offers exercise training that all dogs should participate in at least from the age of 5 in order to grow old healthily. It not only promotes the health of the dog, but also contributes to the prophylaxis of injuries. Through gentle training to build muscle, joint mobilization and weight loss.
It supports sustainable and preventive according to the motto "prevention instead of surgery"!

Injuries are prevented by better musculature, painkillers can be reduced or used later, operations are avoided (cruciate ligament ruptures). Reduction of veterinary costs and delay of diseases, damages or their negative effects. Osteoarthritis is not cured, but symptoms are alleviated and delayed.

Young dogs can also be trained. Small breeds in particular should be trained from the age of 10 months due to their breed-specific "gene backpack". For example, Chihuas or French Bulldogs should have their muscles strengthened to reduce patellar luxations (dislocation of the kneecap). This reduces the susceptibility to cruciate ligament ruptures (surgery costs between €3,000 and €5,000) in small breeds and increases the quality of life, since the patella dislocates less frequently.
The same is true for German Shepherds, which have deficiencies in the back and hindquarters and can better compensate for these deficiencies by having good back and hindquarters muscles.

All sports and service dogs, which can thus work better, longer and more efficiently.

Through the membership your dog can train regularly and sustainably - therefore "Forever young"!

Other benefits include discounted training (starting at €10.90), the opportunity to attend classes at our Huffys Academy, discounts on certain items and insurance.

The idea of dog training is that after expert instruction, you can train independently with your dog.

"Learning by doing, to do it yourself!"

HuffysFIT offers regular hydrotrainer courses in its own Huffys Academy. Here, trained animal physiotherapists, osteopaths, TFA or alternative practitioners can take their hydrotrainer or hydrofitness trainer certificate.
The courses take place in our Academy in Nidda near Frankfurt and are led by Tamara Baumbach.

Step 1: Register at Huffys Academy for the corresponding course. If you want to participate as a dog owner, you have to plan an extra day to learn the medical basics.

Step 2: Attend the course and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. Learn how the underwater treadmill works, medical conditions and contraindications, care and maintenance of the underwater treadmill, and athletic training.

Step 3: Successfully complete the course and receive your Hydrofitness Trainer (HFT) certification. If you already have medical training, you will receive your Hydrotrainer (HT) certification.

Step 4: If you want to work as a hydrotrainer/hydrofitness instructor, make sure you have enough hands-on experience on the underwater treadmill. If not, you may need to take additional hands-on training.

Step 5: Take continuing education courses to deepen and broaden your knowledge and skills. There are specific courses for different breeds of dogs and medical conditions.

Step 6: Keep your certification current by regularly attending continuing education courses.

Note: Exact requirements and steps may vary by course. It is important that you educate yourself on the specific requirements and prerequisites to ensure you are taking all the necessary steps to become a qualified hydro trainer/hydro fitness instructor.

It is important to us that all of our hydro trainers/hydro fitness instructors meet a minimum standard to provide the best training experience for our training teams and a safe training experience for the dogs. Animal health is especially close to our hearts.

We offer clubs, authorities, animal shelters, dog trainers, rescue dog teams to train their members themselves as multi-users. The prerequisite is that a member of this group has an appropriate qualification or has been trained in our academy as a hydrotrainer:in or hydrofitnesstrainer:in.

Hydrotraining is one of the gentlest training methods available. Strains as in gambling or ligament injuries are rather rare.

Overstraining is prevented by limiting the training time to a maximum of 15 minutes for the first 20 sessions and then increasing it to a maximum of 20 minutes. If all dog owners are careful with the system, injuries are almost impossible, but not completely avoidable.

Free appointments can be booked via our website.
Community appointments as a club, interest group, dog school, animal shelter, authority, rescue dog team or breeder are also possible.

Register on our website to be able to book different programs. When you book an appointment, we will give you a QR code for your appointment that you can use to train during the booked time.

When a dog is overweight, it has a negative impact on its joints . They are subjected to greater stress and can cause osteoarthritis or injuries to the carpal joint . In addition, tendons and ligaments stretch, especially the joints at the paws. This can cause the dog to "kick through".

When a dog weighs more, more stress is placed on its skeleton, which also affects bones and ligaments. The dog becomes sluggish and moves less. Pain is often treated with medication.

When a dog weighs less, it is more agile and there are fewer veterinary costs. Also, fewer or weaker medications are needed. The dog stays healthy longer and ages better - similar to us humans.

There is an overall improvement in BMI.
