What is a mobile dog treadmill service?
A mobile dog treadmill service brings a fully equipped, climate-controlled fitness unit to your home. Your dog receives a guided workout on a treadmill designed specifically for canine safety and comfort. It’s structured, supervised exercise without the need to leave your property.
Is this service safe for my dog?
Yes. Our treadmills are designed for dogs and include non-slip surfaces, side rails, and adjustable speed controls. Each session is supervised by a trained handler who monitors your dog’s pace, breathing, and behavior. We also customize workouts based on your dog’s age, breed, and fitness level.
How long is each workout session?
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, which includes a gentle warm-up, a customized treadmill workout, and a cool-down period. We adjust the intensity and duration depending on your dog’s individual stamina and needs.
Do I need to be home during the appointment?
You should be present for your dog’s first session. After that, many clients give us pre-approved access so we can conduct the workout while you're away, provided your dog is comfortable with us.
What types of dogs benefit most from this service?
Our service is perfect for:
- High-energy breeds (e.g., Huskies, Boxers, Labs)
- Overweight or under-exercised dogs
- Reactive dogs that struggle in public spaces
- Senior dogs needing controlled movement
- Dogs with limited backyard space
- Busy pet parents who want convenient exercise options
Can I book for multiple dogs?
Yes! We work with households of up to 4 dogs. Each dog gets an individual session with adequate rest between runs. Our pricing is tiered based on the number of dogs.

Prep & Safety Questions
What should I do before the session?
Make sure your dog has had a bathroom break and hasn’t eaten a large meal in the hour before the session. A light snack is okay. Have fresh water available nearby.
What happens if my dog is nervous or has never been on a treadmill?
That’s totally normal! We introduce the equipment slowly using positive reinforcement. Most dogs adapt within the first few minutes. If a dog needs more time or encouragement, we adjust the session accordingly to ensure a low-stress experience.
What if the weather is bad?
No worries! Our mobile unit is fully enclosed and climate-controlled, so your dog can exercise comfortably in rain, snow, or heat.
Will this replace daily walks?
Treadmill workouts are a great supplement to outdoor walks. They help release energy, build stamina, and improve behavior, especially on days when walking isn’t possible or practical.
