Canine Cardio — Let Your Dog Be A Dog Again
Let Your Dog Be A Dog Again
Canine Cardio is all about creating a personable atmosphere for you and your companions without the stresses of traditional doggie daycare. Along with our “Canine Cardio Sessions,” we offer a variety of remote services, such as dog walking, pet sitting, training, and more. Every dog in our pack gets evaluated before starting; you will meet with Brittany, our founder.

Meet the Pack Leaders
Brittany Schneller
Founder & Head Trainer
For nearly two decades, Brittany has worked every side of canine care — dog walking, daycare leadership, veterinary tech work, training, and fostering German Shepherds and other high-drive breeds. Hundreds of dogs later, one truth stuck: dogs thrive on consistency, structure, and calm leadership.
Traditional daycare tends to overstimulate or exhaust dogs without ever engaging their minds. Brittany built Canine Cardio to change that — around movement, enrichment, and emotional balance, so every dog leaves genuinely fulfilled.
Canine Cardio is co-owned by Brittany Schneller and Daniel Ramos, alongside a team of dedicated pack leaders.
