What is a mobile dog gym
Safe and effective dog exercise in a climate-controlled environment
“Aren’t you just a dog walker?”
No. We walk and run dogs on treadmills in a climate controlled van. This means that we can walk your dog all year long, in any weather no matter how hot or cold, raining, day or night. Because our treadmills provide weight resistance, a half hour on the treadmill is about equal to an hour and a half walk. We also incline the treadmills, which makes it like they are walking uphill the entire time. This means that even though we are technically “dog walkers” in that we are giving your dog walking or running exercise, it is far more effective and safe than any dog walker. All of the potentially dangerous elements of walking a dog in Las Vegas are controlled, and we monitor the dog’s health and well being the entire time. Are we dog walkers? Sure. Are we better than dog walkers? Absolutely.
Why?
This is not like a dog walk. Because of the resistance of the belt, it is more like lifting weights. This builds stronger muscles and bones.
Fun
Dogs get bored just like humans do. Engaging in fun and stimulating activities helps them learn.
Muscle Building
A stronger body, heart and lungs will help your dog to live a longer and happier life.
Climate Controlled
Las Vegas gets hot, and exercising in the heat can lead to heat stroke and burned paws. Our climate controlled van keeps them cool.
Longevity
Movement is the best way to keep your body youthful and limber. If you don’t use it you lose it!
What is a mobile dog gym?
Our team of canine fitness coaches will arrive at your location and introduce your dog to our non-motorized treadmills and out climate controlled van. The beginning is usually pretty slow as the dog learns that the treadmill will not hurt them, and begins to understand that walking on a moving surface will not make them fall. We will encourage your dog with toys, clapping, whistling and positive motivation. The first few sessions will be all about learning a new skill, and growing to understand the treadmill.
After their first run, your dog will begin to understand that they can move faster on the treadmill. Most dogs begin to walk within one or two sessions and will keep up a steady pace while being encouraged. We stay with your dog the whole time and keep motivating them! We are continually assessing your dog’s physical condition as well as their personality, so we never overwork your dog past their limits. They can stop any time they are tired, and will get periodic rest breaks.
If your dog likes to run and chase things, after a few initial sessions they will be confident enough to begin to run on the treadmill. We encourage them to run for short periods of time, then walk in order to cool down.
A tired dog is a healthy dog
