Barky the bus gives dogs a safe and controlled environment to work out! This is great to burn excess energy, build confidence and stay mentally and physically enriched!

What is a Slat-mill Treadmill?Our Slat-mill treadmills are specifically designed for dogs. They have a pully/belt system that allows the treadmill to move without a motor. This means the dog has complete control over their speed and when to stop at all times! Making it customizable per pooch!
-
Are they forced to run?Nope! That is the beauty of slat-mills. We use fun things like toys, treats, and affection to encourage them, but it is completely their choice to participate! Here is a video of Prince showing you his skills on the mill!

How long are sessions?Newbie Package sessions are 20-40 minutes long depending on how your dog likes it! It usually takes a pup about 15 minutes to start moving at a steady pace. However, this is case by case and we will always end the session when the pup is doing really well, to ensure the next session goes even better! Athlete Package sessions are 30 minutes long. By this time your dog has built its confidence in the slat-mill and can get a full workout! Whether its walking, trotting, sprinting, or a mix!
-
Dog Requirements!All dogs are welcome if they are: -Max 150 lbs. -Older than 6 months -In good health (consult with a vet prior to your appointment)
-
Do I need to provide a harness?If you have a padded harness with a clip on top and in the front that your dog is used to, then we can use yours! If not we have plenty of all sizes.
-
Do I need to be at the appointment?Under the Newbie Package we require you are present for the first session to support your pup. The second and third sessions we just require you to be home while your pup is running with us! Under the Athlete Package you do not need to be home! Just let us know if you will be home or not and we can plan accordingly to fetch your dog from the home!
-
Do you monitor for overheating and exhaustion?Absolutely! I have both an air conditioner and a heater to keep the van at a comfortable temperature, and I always provide fresh water. The dogs can stop whenever they're tired but I also monitor them closely and will pause the slat mill to give them a break if I notice any signs of overexertion.
