The Canine Sports Medicine Association newsletter (April, 1997) puts canine athletes in four categories: “elite, amateur, professional and recreational.” Unless you’re headed for competition, chances are your dog is a recreational athlete and keeping him reasonably fit doesn’t require expensive equipment or membership in a doggy gym.
