Outside that zone? Reach out anyway. We can often make it work, and a small travel fee may apply. It's worth telling us where you are as we expand.

We pull up at your scheduled time and set up outside your home. Your dog gets a quick relief break if they need one, then heads into the trailer, where warm-up, conditioning, and cooldown all happen on the equipment. We bring them back to your door settled and cooled down.

Plan on us being on site about 30 minutes longer than your session length, since setup and breakdown happen either side of it.

Right out front at the curb. We need a flat, level stretch of about 35 feet, roughly two large SUVs end to end.

We don't park in driveways. Most are sloped, and level ground matters for safe loading and for how the equipment sits.

If your street is steep or parking is tight, we'll find the nearest level spot. Not sure about your block? Mention it when you book.

Apartments and condos. Please check with your leasing office ahead of your first session so we know where a trailer can park in your community, then pass that along to us.

Gated communities. We don't serve gated communities yet. If you can share your leasing or HOA office contact, we're glad to reach out and see what we can arrange.

Someone over 18 needs to be there to hand off your dog and take them back, but you don't have to watch. Plenty of clients use the time to get things done. You're very welcome to stay, and most people do for the first few sessions.

We bring power, water, and towels, so all we need is a level place to park.

One thing to send along: your dog's own motivation. If they work for food, send their usual training treats. If they work for play, send their favorite toy. We don't supply treats, so whatever you send is what we'll use.

Three things to have ready.

1. Time meals around the session. No large meals or large volumes of water within 60 minutes before or after training. A light meal two hours ahead is fine. This lowers the risk of bloat, which matters most for deep-chested breeds.

2. Put their harness on before we arrive. An athletic style works best, spreading pressure across the body rather than the neck. Not sure which one fits? Call or text 719-800-PAWS and we'll help you choose.

3. Tell us what's changed since last time. A limp, stiffness getting up, new medication, or just an off day. These shape how we run the session, so mention them even if they seem minor.

Weekly is where a program builds on itself, and it's what we suggest for most dogs. Twice a week suits working breeds, sport dogs, and weight loss goals. Twice a month keeps dogs already in good shape ticking over.

Yes, and multi-dog households are some of our favorite clients.

Each dog gets their own full session, one at a time. A session is only as good as the attention behind it, so we don't train two dogs at once.

That also means your dogs don't have to train the same way. Your young athlete can do 60 minutes while your senior does 30, on whichever machine suits each of them.

Additional dogs save either way:

• Memberships – 25% off any additional dog's membership, whether or not they train the same day
• Single sessions, same visit – $35 for a second 30 minute session, $55 for a second 60 minute session

Three or more dogs? Get in touch and we'll build a schedule that fits. Full details are on our pricing page.

Our mobile gym carries an Ortho Pro by Dog Runner electric treadmill and a non-motorized slatmill by Dog Trotter. Both travel with us to every session, so we can pick the right one on the day.

The short version: on the treadmill we set the effort, on the slatmill your dog does.

The orthopedic treadmill is motorized, so speed and incline can be set precisely and repeated week to week. That control makes progress measurable, and the cushioned deck keeps impact low. Our usual choice for steady endurance work, seniors, larger dogs, and dogs new to conditioning.

The slatmill has no motor. Your dog pushes the belt and decides when to surge or back off, which develops acceleration and rear-end power. It suits sport, working, and high-drive dogs.

Neither is better. Many dogs use both. We choose based on your dog's size, comfort, fitness, and goals.

The electric treadmill can accommodate dogs weighing up to 285 pounds.

The non-motorized slatmill is rated for dogs weighing up to approximately 100 pounds.

The electric treadmill has a speed range of 0.5 to 11.2 MPH, which lets us adjust intensity to your dog's fitness level and comfort.

The non-motorized slatmill is 100% dog-powered, so your dog sets their own pace.

Low-impact conditioning is often exactly what an older dog needs, and controlled work tends to be gentler on joints than the stop and start of a walk. For seniors we suggest shorter sessions more often, and depending on age and breed we may ask for a note from your vet first.

Not until their growth plates have closed, around 12 months in smaller breeds and later in large and giant ones. Repetitive work before then isn't worth the risk. Reach out when your puppy is closer to maturity.

One of the best reasons to work with us, and one of the most common. We start conservatively with shorter sessions and build as fitness improves. Consistency matters far more than intensity.

Flat-faced dogs shed heat poorly and tire sooner, so we keep sessions to 30 minutes, build in generous rest, and watch breathing closely. If your dog has a history of breathing difficulty, we'll want to hear from your vet first.

Often, especially through our volunteer work with local shelters and rescues. A private session with no other dogs around removes most of what a reactive dog struggles with. Tell us when you book so we can plan the first session properly.

Let us know when you book. We'll ask for written clearance from your vet before the first session, along with any restrictions they give you.

From there we work within that plan. If your vet caps duration or limits incline, that becomes how we program the sessions, and we'll note it in reports you can bring back to them. Dogs recovering from surgery or managing arthritis often benefit a great deal from structured conditioning. We just want your vet setting the boundaries.

More common than you'd think. Our Starter Pack is built for exactly that: three shorter sessions where the focus is confidence, not speed. For dogs who need longer, we can extend that period before moving into full sessions.

See our pricing page for details.

A trained handler stays with your dog from warm-up through cooldown, watching gait, breathing, and body language, and adjusting as we go. Your dog is never left on the equipment alone.

The gym is climate controlled, which takes most of the heat load out of the work, and hydration breaks are short and controlled rather than open access. If your dog tells us they've done enough, we stop.

Yes. EnduroDog Canine Fitness LLC is PACFA-licensed in the state of Colorado and fully insured, operating in compliance with all applicable regulations for pet care providers.

Give us 24 hours notice and we'll reschedule at no charge. Inside that window the session counts as used, since the slot is held for you and rarely fills that late.

One of the better reasons to book. The gym is climate controlled, so snow, heat, and wildfire smoke are all fine. The main thing that stops us is roads we can't safely tow on, and we'll reschedule if that happens.
