Guided Canine Fitness
Delivered to You
We bring the gym to your home. Your dog trains one-on-one with one of our handlers on a treadmill or slatmill, in a structured session built around their age, body, and goals. We help your dog build strength, heart health, mental sharpness, and balance, one week at a time.
Keeping your dog fit,

How It Works
Book a free intro call
Tell us about your dog — age, energy level, and what you're hoping to work on. We'll answer questions and see if we're a good fit.
Book your 3-session starter pack
Every dog starts here. Three sessions give your dog time to get comfortable and give us a clear read on how they move.
We come to you
We drive our mobile gym to your home and introduce your dog to the equipment. Some dogs hop on right away; others need a slower warm-up — we work at their pace, not ours.
Choose your plan
After the starter pack, we'll talk through what fits best — individual sessions, a monthly membership, or a package. See pricing & plans for details.
Train and track progress
As your dog builds their routine, we keep you updated after every session — so you always know how they're progressing.

Fitness that meets your dog
where they are
Train safely through summer heat
A review of more than 900,000 veterinary records found that 74% of dog heatstroke cases came from exercise, not hot cars, often after a normal walk on a warm day. Our gym holds 60–70°F, so a workout doesn't depend on catching a cool hour. One of our handlers watches your dog's pace and breathing and eases off when they need it.
VetCompass heatstroke study: Royal Veterinary CollegeSkip the rattlesnakes and summer wildlife
The prairie rattlesnake is the Front Range's only venomous snake, and Colorado vets see most bites between May and September, usually to a dog's face or front legs. Tall grass, rock piles, and open space edges are where dogs meet them. Inside the gym your dog gets a full session with nothing underfoot to worry about.
Rattlesnake risk and prevention: VetBloom, WSU Veterinary HospitalHold fitness through the winter
The AVMA points out that ice, salt, and frozen ground are hard on paws and footing. Most dogs simply move less in winter, when cold and short daylight cut walks down. Our floor is dry and grippy and the trailer is heated, so January runs like June. Sessions keep their day and time, so a week of storms doesn't become a month off.
Cold weather pet safety: AVMAReach a healthy weight
Across millions of veterinary records, overweight dogs were three times more likely to be diagnosed with joint problems, and those diagnoses nearly doubled in ten years. Weight tends to come off with exercise that raises effort, not just distance. A standing weekly session gives that some structure, and we add speed or incline as your dog gets fitter.
Banfield veterinary health records, 2011–2020: BanfieldBuild a stronger heart and stamina
A veterinary review found that regular exercise supports a dog's heart and stamina, and that dogs with heart disease who stayed active lived longer. Hearts and lungs adapt when effort is held for a stretch, and walks around the block are stop-and-start. On the belt we hold a steady effort with rest between, set for your dog's age and condition.
Exercise testing and physical activity in dogs: Vet Sci, 2025Close the daily activity gap
Veterinary guidance puts most dogs at 30 minutes to two hours of activity a day, with working breeds at the top of that range and seniors at the bottom. Between work schedules and Colorado weather, that's a lot to hit on walks alone. Our sessions run 30 to 60 minutes of structured work, warm-up and rest included, on a schedule that's easy to keep.
Daily exercise needs: Small Door Veterinary, PetMDRebuild muscle and balance
Dogs lose muscle as they age, and it shows up as weakness and wobbly balance long before it shows on the scale; veterinary researchers tie that loss to frailty in older dogs. Flat walking does little to slow it. A little incline and resistance work asks the back legs and core to do the job that keeps a dog steady on their feet.
Canine and human muscle loss research: Tufts UniversityMove stiff joints without the impact
Cornell's sports medicine team uses treadmills because the speed stays steady, so a dog holds one smooth stride instead of stopping, pulling, and twisting. We set a pace your dog can hold and run it on a cushioned deck instead of pavement or frozen ground. Sessions stay short, controlled, and much the same from one week to the next.
Treadmill training for dogs: Cornell UniversityKeep seniors steady and sharp
In one study of older dogs, the more active seniors walked with a steadier gait and scored better on memory tests. Heat, ice, and storms are usually what break a senior's routine. Indoors, the session happens whatever the forecast, at a pace well inside what your dog can handle, and we note how they're moving so changes show up early.
Activity and gait in aged dogs: Scientific Reports, 2023Settle the behavior that comes from boredom
The AKC points out that chewing, pacing, barking, and restlessness usually come from unspent energy. A quick lap around the block burns less of it than it feels like. A 30 to 60 minute session gives that energy somewhere to go, and because we come to your driveway in any weather, it's an outlet that holds up week to week.
Exercise and nuisance behavior: AKCStart safely from any fitness level
Not every dog is ready to run, and that's fine. A dog carrying extra weight, a big breed still filling out, or one new to structured exercise needs to build up slowly. The treadmill holds an exact speed we can raise in small steps; the slatmill has no motor, so your dog sets the pace. The first session is mostly getting to know them.
Introducing a dog to the treadmill: Cornell UniversityLet high-energy dogs open up
Our slatmill has no motor, so your dog sets the speed and can push hard or ease off whenever they want. Running against that belt asks for back-end power a leashed walk never does. It's what we reach for with dogs who finish a long walk still bouncing. Fast intervals or a longer steady effort, whichever suits your dog that day.
How slatmills support natural movement: FirepawMaintain sport conditioning in the off-season
A sports medicine veterinarian notes that competing dogs get hurt less from the sport itself than from missing the conditioning that keeps them strong and balanced. That gap widens in the off-season, when trials stop and fitness quietly slides. Regular treadmill and slatmill work holds the base of a Malinois, shepherd, collie, or husky until the season starts again.
Conditioning and injury prevention in canine athletes: Whole Dog JournalSee progress you can actually track
In an eight-week study, dogs doing two structured sessions a week improved their body condition with no change in their food. We record distance, pace, and duration every visit, so your dog's progress is written down rather than remembered. Over a few weeks you can see whether the plan is working instead of guessing.
Joint exercise program for owners and dogs: Scientific Reports, 2024Two machines, so the work fits the dog
Motorized and dog-powered mills do different jobs: on an electric belt a handler sets the exact speed, which suits walking programs and steady conditioning, while a slatmill leaves the pace entirely to the dog. We keep both in the trailer and choose per session, so your dog isn't stuck with whichever machine an owner happened to buy.
Types of dog treadmills compared: Preventive VetEquipment sized to your dog's full stride
A belt that's too short for a dog's stride is a real risk: they shorten their steps and run in an unnatural posture, which stresses the joints, and stride length is much longer than a dog's standing length. Our mills are professional-grade and sized for medium and large breeds, so a big dog can extend fully.
Belt length and stride: Boops & FloofsNever a session without a handler present
Every guide on this equipment says the same thing: a dog should never use a treadmill unsupervised, and a properly fitted harness clipped to the frame is what keeps a fall from becoming an injury. One of our handlers is beside your dog the whole session, watching their gait and stopping the moment something looks off.
Treadmill safety and supervision: Preventive VetNo machine to buy, house, or maintain
Owning this equipment is a project: slatmills are the priciest option, heavy, and noisy, and a full-size mill needs a permanent corner of a garage that stays usable through a Colorado winter. We bring ours to your driveway, run the session, and drive off with it. Nothing to store, service, or step around.
Cost and footprint of dog treadmills: Canine Athletes, Fitdog NationA note on your dog's health
Your dog's health and safety always come first. While we are not veterinarians and do not provide veterinary advice, dogs with a prior injury or serious medical condition must receive veterinary clearance before beginning our services. We're also happy to coordinate with your veterinarian to develop a conditioning approach that supports your dog's recovery and overall well-being without aggravating an existing condition.
Built with gear the pros use
We invested in professional-grade canine fitness equipment from the makers working dog handlers, sport competitors, and rehab teams rely on — sized and built for real conditioning work.
