Santosha Movement

The Dachshund Fitness Community

Currently, our courses are only available for Dachshunds over one year old with no known pre-existing conditions.

However, if your Dachshund is currently going through IVDD, we offer a supportive space for you. While they won’t be able to participate in the courses until they’ve fully recovered (and with sign off from your vet or physio), you’re still welcome to join our community for guidance and support.

The Dachshund Fitness Community

As dachsie owners, we face a unique set of challenges, do any of these resonate for you?

Then you aren’t alone and after seeing that this is how so many dachsie owners feel, I realised that we all need support and a clear way to understand all the information out there.

Client Feedback

I absolutely loved our 6-week Canine Fitness program with Lucy! The sessions were informative, engaging, and tailored perfectly to my dog’s needs. The combination of zoom sessions, detailed video notes, and structured training plans made it easy to follow and track our progress. The video critiques and feedback from the zoom sessions were incredibly helpful, not only for my dog but also for me. They provided clear guidance on how I could improve, ensuring my dog performed the exercises correctly. Plus, I gained a deeper understanding of why my dog was moving in a certain way, whether it was soreness on one side, tightness, or a lack of muscle strength, helping me support his fitness journey even better. The WhatsApp support was great meaning I could easily ask questions or send videos in-between our zoom sessions. Overall, this program was an enjoyable and rewarding experience, and I’ve noticed such a positive difference in my dog’s core strength and confidence. Highly recommend it to any dachshund owner looking to improve their pup’s strength and relationship!

We’ve recently completed the 6 week dog fitness package with Lucy from Santosha Movement to support our Dachshund, Moishe. He has mild hip dysplasia and two close spinal discs, so we wanted to be proactive in helping him build strength and improve his posture. From the very first session, we knew we were in good hands. Lucy is incredibly friendly, calm and patient. What really stood out to us was her depth of knowledge and ability to tailor a programme specifically to Moishe’s needs. She created a personalised plan that evolved over time, taking into account how Moishe responded to certain exercises and how his ability developed week by week. This flexibility meant that we were always working at the right level, never pushing too hard, but always making progress. Our 1:1 sessions were a real highlight. Having dedicated time to review Moishe’s previous work, analyse his posture and technique, and reflect on how far he’d come made a huge difference. These sessions were not only insightful but also really encouraging. Lucy helped us spot the subtle changes in Moishe’s movement and posture that we might have missed on our own. One of the unexpected outcomes of the course is how much more aware we’ve become of posture and strength in dogs generally. It’s something we now find ourselves observing all the time – not just in Moishe, but in other dogs too. That deeper understanding has been invaluable and has completely changed the way we approach Moishe’s care. We genuinely can’t recommend Lucy highly enough. Whether your dog has specific health concerns like ours or you’re simply curious about how to support their strength and fitness, Lucy offers something really special. Her approach is thoughtful, supportive and totally centred around the needs of each individual dog. We’ve come away with so much knowledge and confidence to continue working on Moishe's fitness. Thank you Lucy!
