But why not just take my dog for a run outside?

The Running Lab's slatmills offer unique advantages:

Increased resistance: Burns more calories and builds muscle faster than a leisurely stroll.
Controlled environment: Ensures safety and eliminates distractions, making exercise more efficient.
Personalized attention: Certified trainers guide your dog through progressive stages, maximizing results.

Unleash Your Pup's Inner Athlete

Here's how it works:

Book your session: Choose from convenient in-home appointments.
The mobile gym arrives: Relax as the climate-controlled unit pulls up to your doorstep.
Slatmill fun begins: Certified trainers guide your dog through safe and enjoyable exercise.
Tail wags and happy barks: Witness your pup's fitness transformation and newfound energy!

Safety first: The Running Lab prioritizes your dog's well-being. They require vet approval before starting and tailor workouts to individual needs. Plus, there's zero motor – your dog sets the pace!

Pet Parents Can Get Involved

Positive reinforcement: No harsh training methods here! Cheering, clapping, squeaky toys, and lots of love keep your pup motivated.
You choose your level of involvement: Join in the fun or relax while your dog gets their workout.
Respectful care: Dietary needs and weight loss goals are considered and accommodated.
