Dedicated to enhancing or improving a dog’s life through exercise, recreation, and rehabilitation!

The American Dog Reports

It started as a glimmer in a Yellow Lab’s eyes and continues as an evolving adventure with three business locations! The idea for Canine Rehabilitation and Conditioning Group (CRCG) started with Indy, a Yellow Lab who loved to swim. There were few clean and safe places in the Denver metro area to let her swim, and certainly nothing indoors. After Indy passed away from bone cancer, Clark came along and subsequently developed a shoulder problem. Not wanting to do surgery, her owner sought other options and was able to successfully rehabilitate Clark’s shoulder. Thus the CRCG business concept came to fruition. Clark’s owner, Lori Beuerle, opened CRCG in 2005 with business partner and physical therapist Marty Pease.

Fun. Exercise. Rehab. Chances are, your dog could stand any combination of the three. Swimming might be just the thing for your four-legged friend, and Canine Rehabilitation and Conditioning Group, LLC (CRCG) is the place. Just as for humans, non-weight bearing exercise is great for keeping healthy dogs healthy and returning injured dogs to a life of activity.

CRCG offers recreational services for healthy dogs and rehabilitation services for any dog who has an orthopedic issue. In the rehabilitation arena, their certified therapists (licensed physical therapists and licensed veterinarians) provide therapy for post-injury or surgery. Lori explains, “We use underwater treadmills, endless pools, and other physical therapy modalities to aid recovery. We can also assist with other orthopedic conditions, as well as neuromuscular, age, weight management and other physical problems or impairments.”

CRCG’s newest facility (opened June 2010) in Broomfield, Colorado, boasts an indoor Dock Dogs regulation pool. Rocky Mountain Dock Dogs, a group that uses the CRCG facility to practice and host regular club meetings, states, “Lori Beuerle and the CRCG Facility in Broomfield have been an integral part of taking the Rocky Mountain Dock Dogs Club to the next level. This was largely due to Lori’s diligence in crafting a pool to the Dock Dogs specifications and the ability for our handlers and dog athletes to be able to practice in a ‘real competition’ dock and pool. It also provides a place for our members to gather together besides actual events in a more laid back and relaxed atmosphere.”

Additionally, Rocky Mountain Dock Dogs says, “The indoor facility provides us with a unique advantage that our club can offer year round practices, keeping the membership base growing and experienced dogs in top condition. CRCG also supplements our club with an incredible classroom offering with AV equipment to provide in-depth clinics, giving advantages to our members by taking a deeper dive into the techniques of the sport. They offer other conditioning advice, supplements and retail products many club members utilize for keeping the dog athletes at the top of their game.”
