Las Vegas is a city that poses several problems for dog owners to properly care for their dogs. The summers are especially hot and dry, with many consecutive days over 100 degrees. This causes a situation where it is unsafe to exercise your dog properly, because cement will be over 120 degrees and pavement will be upwards of 150 degrees as soon as the ambient temperatures outside go over 100. For most dogs this will create an unsafe situation where their paws will burn and blister, and for dogs with flatter faces it can actually be deadly as they have a more difficult time cooling themselves. Las Vegas also offers very few open fields where you can run your dog safely. While dog parks themselves are the correct setup to run a dog without being hindered by a leash or moving at our pace, the possibilities of dangerous situations at dog parks makes many owners hesitate to bring their dog there. After all, even if your dog is trained and socialized does not mean that the other dogs at the park are equally well adjusted. Too many stories from dog parks involve perfectly loving dogs being attacked and harmed by those that are not, and it is a shame to find this fact out the hard way. Most trainers will agree that dog parks are fine as long as there are no other dogs in them that you do not know will get along with your dog.
The solution to these issues is RUN DAWG Mobile Dog gym. A mobile dog gym is a climate controlled unit that comes to your location and provides exercise for your dog on specialized equipment. These treadmills are not operated with motors, but instead use positive motivation to cause your dog to run or walk, essentially allowing them to jog in place. Because the environment is completely controlled and supervised, you can allow your dog to exercise at their own pace without worry of them being injured or harmed. Many police and military, as well as performance and agility dogs are trained using the same equipment, designed to build strength and stamina in your dog. Regular exercise is proven to reduce aggression and destructiveness, as well as curbing whining and barking. It helps to burn extra calories that cause weight gain, as well as building back leg muscles so as to avoid rear-end issues. By exercising your dog regularly using this type of equipment, it will help to extend your dog’s life by improving their physical fitness. It will also help to assist your dog’s mental state due to the enrichment qualities of learning new tasks and performing new things. Dogs not only enjoy it, they look forward to the times when they will be able to happily run and chase without negative aspects or problems.
