What Is A Mobile Dog Gym?

One of the common criticisms is “why not just walk your dog?” The answer is simple, people tend to walk at about 1.5 miles per hour, and a dog walks at about twice that pace. Many dogs will run at 15–20 miles per hour, and the fastest human on earth runs at 24 miles per hour. Your forcing them to walk at your pace on flat ground makes them put about 80% of their body weight on their front paws, essentially working out their front legs and doing almost nothing for their rear legs. A lifetime of walking with their owner and nothing else leads to the skinny back legs and rear-end issues so common in your dogs today. The muscles atrophy from a lack of use, and ultimately result in poor health. When a dog begins to run or walk on an incline their weight shifts to their back legs as they push off, developing the back leg muscles as they were intended to be. The workout is both cardiovascular (like aerobics for humans) and physical (like lifting weights) and the results of regular intense exercise are better health and well being. Ask any veterinarian and they will tell you that most dogs need multiple hours and miles of walking with their owners daily, as well as high intensity running for roughly 30 minutes every two days. This is what your dog was bred to do, and just walking them with you is actually harming them.

A mobile dog gym like RUN DAWG is a great way to allow your dog to have fun and gain the mental stimulation of performing a new task every week, as well as working off the energy that causes so many behavior issues. It properly develops their muscles and leads to a healthy and long life. If you love your dog, run your dog!
