traineo.com and Dogster.com Partner to Encourage Exercise with Dogs Using Social Networking
Cambridge, MA (PRWeb) July 18, 2007 -- traineo.com, the web's fastest growing fitness community, has partnered with Dogster, Inc., the industry alpha dog in pet-focused online communities, Dogster.com and Catster.com, to launch a 'Fitness with Dogs' initiative using traineo's interactive group platform.
"We think this is the perfect time to add this dynamic feature to our community," said Dogster, Inc. founder and CEO, Ted Rheingold. "For dog owners, running, walking or hiking with their pet is an important part of their routine; for the dog's heath, and their own. Now, they have a way to share these experiences and fitness success stories."
Members of Dogster's free community can visit the exclusive Dogster group at traineo.com (http://dogster.groups.traineo.com) to submit their loyal and furry training buddy. Each dog is listed in the group with their favorite workout, a direct link back to their profile at Dogster, and of course a link to their human workout partner on traineo.
traineo members who wish to add their dog to the group, but are not members of Dogster, can create a free profile within seconds using Dogster's simple registration process at http://www.dogster.com/welcome/73
Once a member of Dogster's "Fitness with Dogs" traineo group, participants can browse the list of tips, advice, and share suggestions for working out with their canine training partners.
"We're thrilled to be working with Dogster to engage and encourage our members to exercise with their dogs", said Alasdair McLean-Foreman, CEO of traineo. "Exercise such as walking or jogging with a dog is an excellent way to make fitness fun and much more enjoyable. The new Dogster group is a great way for canine lovers to build a community and share information around fitness with their dogs - it's also great for the dogs who never turn down an offer for another workout session!"
