we are your dog's personal fitness coach

 KB's K9 Fitness is owned and operated by Ashland resident, KB Eastman. KB has worked as a Registered Nurse in the Richmond  area for over 25 years. You will often find KB at the local trails running with her dog, Brylie. She has five other dogs (Roscoe, Figgy, Poppy, Phoebe and Bitsy Boo) that she takes on shorter walks or stroller rides as they each have special needs and are unable to run the trails. It was out of this love of being with dogs and outdoor fitness, that KB retired from nursing, and KB's K9 Fitness was unleashed. KB decided to make her dream of working with dogs a full-time reality and promises to provide your dog a healthy, safe, and fun experience.

 It all began with a walk at Bryan Park where there was a dog adoption event going on and it was love at first sight. Roscoe was quickly adopted by KB at 7 months of age. Although he is missing a leg, Roscoe doesn't let this stop him. He is an inspiration to many! Roscoe loves all things outdoors! He enjoys hiking (although now a days he is carried for half the hike 😀), short walks and stroller time, plus sun-bathing on the deck. He is a great protector of his siblings and loves to be cuddled.
