Power of the Paws is a mobile dog running service that utilizes a slatmill to provide dog exercise. Our unique approach allows your furry friend to run at their own desired pace, powered solely by their own "paw power," in a safe and controlled environment.

A slatmill is a nonmotorised treadmill that operates solely on the power of your dog's motivation to move. As they take steps on the treadmill, the slats beneath their feet begin to move forward, allowing them to control the speed and intensity of their exercise.

On the initial visit I focus on building trust with your dog and introducing the slatmill. Every dog is unique with their own personality and breed characteristics therefore I will use lots of encouragement (and some treats!) to give them a pawsitive experience. It is ok if your dog is a bit nervous to start - we have a multi level program that will build your dog’s confidence and have them running in no time!

Anytime that suits you! We recommend not more than weekly appointments. If you are planning on a party, guests or a long road trip then a run with Power of Paws prior will help release excess energy and promote a calmer demeanor making these occasions more enjoyable for you and your four legged friend!

Power of the Paws is based in Botany NSW. I typically operate within about a 20km radius however if you are outside of this area or have multiple dogs, feel free to get in touch as I am open to expanding the area if multiple people are interested.

No! Once I have met your dog a couple times I can come to your home and run your dog whenever you like! Maybe you have an unexpected long work day or you just want to give your dog that extra attention.
