First, contact your veterinarian prior to making your first appointment to ensure they recommend physical activity for your dog. Second, we will need a copy of your dog’s current vaccination records. Third, we will need you to read and sign the waiver form. Then, schedule your appointment online and we will meet you on the day and time you scheduled.

We offer weekly, bi-weekly and on-demand scheduling, so it depends on your dog’s needs. Most clients schedule once a week, which they find benefits their dog mentally and physically. When the more extreme weather months are upon us, it may benefit your dog to schedule exercise twice a week. If you have specific needs and would like to discuss them, please contact us.

We first start with getting your dog comfortable being on the Slat Mill Treadmill. This introduction is the first and most important step so your dog starts to gain confidence in learning a new technique. Once your dog has gained confidence on the treadmill, we will start to have them walk and continue to build towards their goal of running. Many dogs will quickly learn to trot and become more confident. As your dog’s confidence continues to build, we will increase your dog’s pace to give them a fun-filled session. We will use positive motivation and toys to gain the most for your dog. The exercise will be done in bursts throughout the time of your session, in order to get the most out of it. While your dog is enjoying their new activity, they will be gaining health and mental benefits.

We prefer for you to be home until your dog is confident with the exercise sessions. After we have determined they are ready, we can arrange for your dog’s workout even when you’re not home.
