We are so glad you are interested in Get Fit with Fido, our program that gets both you and the dog FIT!!!
A few things before you start walking!
- Please be aware of the health of your dog. If you see signs of distress (excessive yawning, panting, drooling, abnormal posture), immediately return to the facility. If you believe the dog is having a medical emergency, please call 502-229-4822 or 859-391-1227 for immediate assistance. These numbers are also on a card in your Fido Bag.
- Use the items in your Fido Bag! Treat your dog if he/she is walking well on a leash. Stop and allow doggy time to drink some water on your walk and pick up after your dog after a poo😊
- You may walk the dog anywhere around Prevention Park. In your Fido Bag there are pre-planned routes that will tell you how far you’ve walked with your furry friend but feel free to make your own route! We only ask that you do not walk them toward Cardwell Lane (Right of the shelter from Fido Court). This is a heavily traveled road and creates danger for both you and the doggy!
- Your dog’s paws might get scratched up if they solely walk on concrete. When possible, allow the dog to walk in the grass.
- Let your dog sniff and explore! Dogs need both physical and mental exercise to be happy! Sniffing is great mental exercise for them and in turn, busts the boredom of being in their kennel for long periods of time.
- HAVE FUN! Play with your dog! Run with your dog! Give him/her lots of love, pats and booty scratches!!!
You'll make your new walking buddy very happy!
