You both need more exercise & positive time together? WE HAVE A SOLUTION
First, we come to you - your home or your work. In the safety & comfort of a climate-controlled van dogs can exercise at their own pace. This can meet general exercise, specific training, weight loss, rehabilitation, socialization or behavioral needs for all size and ages of dogs. We can work with your vet to develop a customized program. A session can break up boredom for a dog alone at home during the day.
Pet owners w/ dogs that are athletes who struggle to get enough high intensity workouts on their own. Some have health issues, precluding them from exercising their dog (illness, joint pain, surgery). Busy people! Those who have concern about wokring out their pet in hot/cold/rainy weather. Those who want their dog(s) to have new experiences or whose dogs may be exhibiting destructive behavior due to lack of exercise. Dogs who need to lose weight.
We recommend discussing your pet's fitness & health w/ their vet prior to use. Slatmills have brakes so momentum can be stopped for any issue. Some dogs w/ special needs are not safe to run or walk outdoors (blindness, balance, old age, reactiveness) so this can be a safe alternative. The dog controls the speed and can stop any time they wish.
There is a learning curve, just as there is for humans starting on a treadmill. New equipment, new environment and new people. Most dogs start off slowly until they get used to us and come to understand that the slatmill moving under them is safe. For some this is only a few minutes, others take multiple sessions to get comfortable. When they do - just watch them run and the happy faces that result! We often take pictures or video of their fun.
We encourage traditional walks for exercise but honestly most humans cannot maintain an adequate pace to provide a cardio workout for their dog, certainly not a full speed workout. Dogs love to run! For mental stimulation we also encourage sniff walks for dogs to explore their neighborhood but this provides only mental stimulations, not the heart pumping exercise dogs need. During the hottest Summer months in AZ exercising outside is not safe for most dogs.
Schedule a session (30 min. recommended for most) on our page here or text us at 480-977-1464. Complete the Information/Release Form. Then we come to you. At first it is recommended that you are home so your pet feels comfortable getting started but eventually we can do sessions while you are away. Good way to get your pup some excitement if she is left home for any length of time
We will text you to confirm your appointment time. Please give your dog(s) a potty break prior and make sure they have been getting plenty of water before Mobile Dog Runners arrive. Also, please be sure claws have been recently trimmed for comfort of your pet. Plan on your participating dog to be quite tired after a session, usually will lay down to nap to recover. It is best not to feed for an hour after the session.
Yes! Our vans are equipped with up to 4 slatmills. However, for safety reasons we require that the dogs be from the same house, or if neighbors, that the dogs know each other & get along. We offer discounts for running multiple dogs at the same time. So, you may want to check w/ your neighbors to see if they have an interest. Dogs do very well in groups.
We understand, things can happen. Sessions can be rescheduled or cancelled with at least 24 hours notice. Within 24 hours we must charge 50% of the fee since we budgeted that time slot for you & won't find another customer. Cancellations within an hour or no shows will be billed the full amount. Always talk to us, we will try to find a mutually agreeable solution.
