Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We’ve got answers. Below are some of the most common questions about our mobile dog gym, how it works, and what to expect—so you can feel confident your pup is in great hands.
Nope! No motors here. Our slatmills are 100% dog-powered, meaning your pup is the engine. They are in total control of the pace, if they stop, the slatmill stops. It’s significantly safer than a human treadmill and allows them to sprint, jog, or walk exactly how they feel.
Your dog’s safety is our #1 priority. They’re secured in a harness that is attached to the slatmill. Plus, our van is fully air-conditioned (no overheating!) and we are right there the entire time, acting as their personal trainer and biggest cheerleader.
No judgment here! We love the spicy ones. Our mobile gym is a sanctuary for reactive dogs because there are no other dogs around to kill the vibe. However, if your pup likes to use their chompers, we just ask that they remain muzzled during the session for everyone’s safety.
We believe fitness is for everyone. During the Intro Session, we’ll focus on helping your dog map out the van and get comfortable stepping onto the slatmill. We move at their pace, using touch or scent cues to build their confidence until they’re ready to let loose.
Most of our clients are total newbies! That’s why we require an "Intro Session." We take the time to let your dog sniff the van, get used to the equipment, and realize that the slatmill is basically a giant toy. We use plenty of positive reinforcement to make sure their first "run" is a total blast.
To keep the pack safe, we require all dogs to be up-to-date on their Rabies vaccination.
Puppies must be at least 6 months old and fully vaccinated. For the seniors or pups with joint issues, we require a vet’s "all clear" before they hit the slatmill. Our equipment can handle athletes up to 150 lbs—so yes, we see you, giant breeds!
Safety first: Dogs with known heart conditions or severe respiratory issues cannot use the slatmill. If your dog has any other underlying health concerns, please consult your vet before booking a session.
A standard workout is 20 minutes. Don’t let the time fool you—20 minutes on a slatmill is an intense, high-output burn that beats an hour-long walk any day. We also offer longer sessions for those high-drive working breeds that just won’t quit.
Absolutely! We love an audience. You are welcome to watch from the entrance, take photos, and hype up your pup. However, per our insurance policy, all humans must remain outside the van while the "athletes" are working out.
The more the merrier! We have two slatmills on board, so two dogs can burn rubber at the same time. If you have a larger pack, we can easily add back-to-back sessions to make sure everyone gets their pump on.
We currently serve all of Orleans Parish. If you’re just outside the line, reach out! We may be able to make a trek to your neighborhood.
