You don't need a fitness trainer for your dog. Your first step would be to control his eating habits. Here are some tips on how to control your dog's weight:
* Cut out all treats and table scraps during the weight loss period.
* Because the primary reason for obesity in dogs is overeating, you should divide the daily food allowance for dogs into two to four small meals a day. Do not use "free-choice" feeding.
* Weigh your dog at the same time of day at least once a week. Keep a weight record.
* Feed your dogs one at a time. A dieting dog may move to the bowl of his housemate to get more food.
* Feed dogs before you eat and keep them in another room during meals to discourage begging.
* Restrict your dog's unsupervised outdoor activity so that he may not scavenge for food when outside. Make sure that indoor and outdoor garbage cans have secure covers.
* Tell your neighbors about your dog's weight loss program, to avoid their feeding your dog.
* Always provide plenty of clean, fresh water.
* Dogs should be taken to see their veterinarian at least once a year.
* Exercise your dog on a regular basis, starting slowly with short activity periods, and gradually increase the exercise time. Begin with walking and, when your pet shows signs of increased fitness, move to games that require running, such as "fetch."

You could cut down on your fitness trainer if you'd give your dog the exercise he needs!
Just make sure you realize that just like a person who's way out of shape, a dog also has to be worked onto an exercise regime - he can't start out jogging a mile, he needs to work up to it.
Also, you need to cut down on the amount of food your dog's getting, as well as cut out the treats if you want your dog to enjoy a long and healthy life.

If you are doing fitness then maybe instead of Running on a Tredmill or so.. Go out for a Walk/Run with your Dog.
If you really dont want to Play Catch/ Walk with your Dog/ be Active with your dog.. Then a Dog Walker would be the way to go..

You bought the dog. You are responsible for its care.
