Shari is amazing! I have a Scottish Terrier puppy who needed a conditioning and age-appropriate exercise plan. After a thorough eval, Shari found a couple things that needed to be worked on to build up muscle and correct some movement concerns. My girl is doing AWESOME and turning into a spicy little athlete as she matures. Her plan changes as she grows which is so helpful and keeps her safe from potential injury while her bones and body develops. I am relieved and happy to have a great partner in raising my little Scottie to help her be the best she can be!

Shari has done wonders for our Gunner. He has arthritis and was getting defensive due to his pain.

Ever since working with Shari and taking her suggestions for at home, Gunner is now wanting to take a backseat to his baby sister, Pinot.

We are so happy with her attention to detail and love the videos and summaries she sends after every visit.

Thank you for taking such great care of our baby!

The difference in Toto is truly night and day since he started seeing Shari. Toto has severe hip dysplasia and I had no idea how bad it was until there was a significant change in his behavior. After seeing Shari for several months, he is a different dog! He’s happy, playing with his sister, and enjoying long walks. Finding Shari and investing in Toto’s health has been the best and easiest decision.

Shari has been treating our sport dogs since September 2021 and we continue to schedule regular checkups throughout the year so that Shari can help our pups live their best lives. Each of our dogs turned nine years old this year, but that has not slowed down their fun in participating in dog sports. Our pups enjoy dock diving, agility, Rally-obedience, and tracking. Shari has helped to make dog sports a continued reality by keeping our dogs healthy and fit. This is accomplished by tailoring specific programs to each dog’s individual needs.

Because of Shari’s knowledge our GSD continues to enjoy an active life even with the diagnoses of hip dysplasia. Fritz enjoys his time on the dock catching his favorite toy the Frisbee. He is also quite active in tracking over all types of terrain. This would not be possible without Shari’s continual care.  Read More

I cannot recommend Shari enough. For over a year, she has been working with our 3 y/o German Shepherd Romeo for bilateral hip dysplasia and arthritis. Shari has been so wonderful to take things slowly with Romeo to help him feel comfortable with handling and to build his confidence with his exercises. She does everything possible to make each visit it a positive experience. We have been diligent about working on the exercises at home and can see so much improvement. Romeo used to get tired on a short walk and would lie down frequently due hip pain. Now he has so  Read More

Georgia Community Emergency Response Team (GA-CERT K9)

When my K9 partner, Crixus, was injured just before the most important search of his career, I wasn’t sure we’d make it to the field—let alone be successful. Then we met Shari.

Shari didn’t just provide expert rehabilitation—she brought hope, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to helping us get back in the game. Her deep knowledge, steady hands, and compassionate approach gave Crixus exactly what he needed to recover in time.

Thanks to her, we didn’t just show up—we showed up strong. Shari helped make that mission possible, and I’ll always be grateful.

If your dog is your partner, your teammate, or your heart—there’s no one better to trust than Shari.

It is with great pleasure that we write this letter of recommendation for Pup Rehabilitation and Conditioning, which is run by Shari, the owner and operator. Our dachshund, Adam, was a prior client, who suffered from IVDD. After his surgery, he needed to go to a rehabilitation and physical therapy center. We were very lucky to find Pup Rehabilitation and Conditioning center.

Pup Rehabilitation and Conditioning offered the most wonderful care, specialized treatment for his recovery from surgery. From the very beginning, Shari explained how she was going to treat our Adam. Since Adam needed to begin his stay at the rehabilitation, Shari was wonderful in keeping us informed in Adam’s progress. She would send us texts, videos, and provided any information we needed. We were lucky because Adam was walking within one week.  Read More

Fisher is an agility dog.  At the age of 9.5 he started acting old and had quite a bit of difficulty in getting over spread jumps. I attended a hands-on seminar with Shari for performance dogs.  Wow, what an eye opener.  Fisher had quite a bit of difficulty doing some of the exercises.  He couldn’t walk backwards over bars on the floor.  So we made an appointment to visit Shari at her office.  Read More

After Zaza, our 4 pound delicious Maltese, who was 9 years old at the time, came through her operation on her spine at the Animal Medical Hospital in New York, she began therapy there. When it was time for us to go back to our winter home in Florida, we told them there that we would not go back to Florida unless they could find a physical therapist in Florida, near our residence, for Zaza. After researching, they discovered that Shari Sprague was close to our home in Naples and what was really propitious was that she trained the therapist at the Animal Medical Hospital. Well they were so terrific that we felt if Shari was as good as they were Zaza was in good hands.  Read More

I am writing this on behalf of my little Westie wonder girl Courtney Jeanne… if she could type she would no doubt write it herself!

I cannot recommend Shari Sprague highly enough as she has been working wonders with Courtney Jeanne, my 9-year-old West Highland White Terrier, over the last several weeks. Shari’s stellar knowledge and expertise of physical therapy is surpassed only by her obvious love for what she does. It is rare to see a person so perfectly suited to their chosen profession!  Read More

My 12 year old greyhound has LS disease and arthritis, which has been worsening over the past year or so. Shari suggested that rehab may help and so far I am very happy with his progress. He has much more energy and most importantly does not seem as painful. Shari has been very informative when teaching me how to do exercises at home and my dog absolutely loves her!

We met Shari Sprague January of 2014, when our 6 1/2 year-old beagle was diagnosed with FCE, Fibrocartilaginous Embolli, a common cause of paralysis in dogs. Shari came highly recommended by our veterinarian. She explained to our what we were dealing with.

Shari spent over an hour and a half just observing our beagle on the first visit; on the floor, playing and stroking and encouraging our beloved Margaux. We would receive written exercises for our dog. Shari would call to check on her progress.  Read More

Shari and PUP Rehab and Conditioning have been a godsend to me and my German Shepherd, Fox. I compete in agility and Fox has always been a high drive, easily over-aroused dog. After some initial qualifying runs we had a long streak of knocked bars and crazed runs. He is also accident prone and is no stranger to the cone of shame. When I found Shari last year Fox was limping and had a suspected knee or toe issue that a rehab vet in my previous state was trying to determine. Shari discovered his propensity for getting rotated pelvises and also some significant weakness and lack of proprioception in his rear end.   Read More

I adopted a male, 1-year-old Chow Chow/Australian Shepherd mix back in May 2009.

I noticed a limp with his right rear leg and had him examined by our Vet, who recommended a follow up with Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Robin Holtsinger.  Both his knees were weak, but not necessary for surgery.  Eventually, in 2013, he tore his ACL and that did require surgery.  His total recovery was slow.  After 6 months he showed signs of still being in pain and we determined he needed to have his implant (which had already helped rebuild his ligaments) removed.  After that second surgery, he rebounded quickly.  Read More
