Endurance Training,
for Stronger Dogs
EnduroDog is a mobile dog gym serving Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. We bring professional canine fitness equipment and one-on-one guidance to your home, helping your dog build endurance, strength, and focus for an active life.
What Is a Mobile Dog Gym?
A mobile dog gym is a fitness studio for dogs that comes to you. EnduroDog is PACFA-licensed, serving Colorado Springs and surrounding areas with professional canine fitness equipment and one-on-one work with a trained handler — for sport dogs, working dogs, and family dogs at every age and fitness level.
Every session is built around the dog in front of us — endurance and rear-end power for sport and working dogs, weight and muscle management for family dogs. The gym holds a steady 60 to 70°F, so weather never puts the routine on hold.
Fitness for Every Kind of Dog
Every kind of dog, conditioned to their own level. For any dog with a health condition, past injury, or mobility trouble, we get your veterinarian's sign off first.
Sport Dogs
Agility, dock diving, flyball, canicross, protection sportsTreadmill intervals and slatmill sprints build the aerobic base and rear-end power a trial weekend asks for, and hold conditioning through the off-season.
Working Dogs
Search and rescue, detection, herding, service dogs, retired K9sEndurance that holds up over hours, not minutes, plus the strength to work on uneven ground. Kept in place between training days and callouts, and maintained for retired working dogs who still need the outlet.
Senior Dogs
Slowing down, stiff, losing muscleShort, low-impact sessions on a cushioned deck, at a pace set for them. Regular movement helps hold the muscle that keeps aging joints supported.
Weight Management
Working alongside your vet's planSteady, low-impact cardio that burns calories while your dog keeps muscle, at an effort that spares joints already carrying extra load.
When You Can't Do It Yourself
Limited mobility, chronic illness, injury, recoveryYou know your dog and you know what they need. We handle the physical side of getting it done. Your dog gets a full, structured workout at home while you stay in charge of the plan, and we report back after every session so nothing happens without you.
Weekend Adventure Dogs
Big Saturdays, quiet weekdaysHiking and trail days are hard on a dog who sat still all week. Midweek sessions keep them conditioned between adventures, so weekends are fun instead of a shock to the system.
Fitness That Solves Real Problems
Dogs don't all need the same kind of exercise. We tailor each session to the dog in front of us, building fitness, managing weight, getting older, or simply needing more structured activity.
Colorado weather can disrupt a fitness routine
Heat, cold, and ice make outdoor exercise uncomfortable or unsafe. Heat matters most: dogs rely on panting to shed it, and exercise is a major contributor to canine heatstroke: a review of more than 900,000 veterinary records found exercise was involved in the majority of heatstroke cases. Our climate-controlled mobile gym stays between 60 and 70°F, so your dog has a consistent place to train when the forecast doesn't cooperate.
Research: Royal Veterinary CollegeConsistency beats intensity
The dogs who do best are not the ones with the biggest single workout, they are the ones who train on a schedule. Canine sports guidance emphasizes regular conditioning rather than sporadic hard effort, because a body that stays conditioned handles hard days without the injury risk of going from rest to full speed. A standing weekly slot is what turns exercise from an intention into a routine.
Research: American Kennel ClubExercise changes how a dog thinks, not just how they move
Veterinary and behavior guidance consistently ties unspent physical energy to chewing, pacing, barking, and general restlessness, and treats structured exercise as a first-line part of managing it. Physical work also appears to support cognitive function: in a study of aging dogs, more physically active seniors showed steadier gait and better performance on memory tasks. A worked dog is easier to live with and easier to train.
Research: American Kennel Club, plus Scientific Reports (2023) on activity and cognition in aged dogsYour dog can't go from couch to full speed
Dogs who are mostly inactive during the week and then run, jump, hike, or compete at high intensity place more stress on their bodies than dogs who stay conditioned. Canine sports guidance emphasizes regular conditioning, warm-ups, and cool-downs to prepare the body for strenuous activity. We give active dogs a consistent routine between hikes, training days, and competitions, so fitness doesn't depend on the next big adventure.
Research: American Kennel ClubHard work requires more than practice
Sport and working dogs ask their cardiovascular system to deliver repeatedly, long efforts, hard bursts, and short recoveries between them. Veterinary sports-medicine work with detection and working dogs treats aerobic and anaerobic capacity as something built deliberately and progressively, not picked up during skills training. That is the piece we handle: treadmill intervals to build the aerobic base, slatmill sprints to train the high-effort end. Sport and job-specific skill work stays with you and your trainer.
Research: Penn Vet Working Dog CenterExtra weight makes exercise harder
For overweight dogs, exercise supports a weight-management plan while helping preserve muscle and joint mobility. Cornell's veterinary guidance notes that low-impact activity can help dogs lose weight while holding onto muscle, and that dogs who haven't been active should build conditioning gradually to avoid injury. We control the pace and progression so activity fits your dog's current fitness and works alongside the nutrition plan your veterinarian recommends.
Research: Cornell University College of Veterinary MedicineGetting older doesn't mean stopping
As dogs age, changes in mobility and exercise tolerance make it harder to stay active, but regular, age-appropriate movement helps maintain muscle, joints, and overall physical function. Veterinary guidance recommends tailoring exercise to a senior dog's mobility, breed, and medical history rather than stopping activity. Our gym gives senior dogs a controlled place to move at a pace set for them, no long walks, rough terrain, or unpredictable weather.
Research: PetMD, Barri J. Morrison, DVMLess movement can become a vicious cycle
Dogs with osteoarthritis and other mobility challenges can get caught in a cycle where stiffness leads to less movement, which costs muscle and strength. Veterinary guidance emphasizes controlled, consistent exercise to maintain muscle, joint mobility, and cardiovascular fitness rather than avoiding movement altogether. For dogs cleared for exercise by their veterinarian, we provide structured, low-impact conditioning that fits into their overall care plan.

Built With Gear the Pros Use
EnduroDog carries two professional-grade pieces of canine fitness equipment, trusted by working-dog handlers, sport competitors, and rehabilitation teams. Each serves a different purpose, allowing us to match the right equipment to your dog's needs, ability, and goals.
Canine treadmill
A motorized treadmill built for dogs, with a belt sized for four legs rather than two and a shock-absorbing deck that cushions every stride to protect joints. The handler sets an exact pace and holds it, which makes it the right choice for controlled conditioning, senior dogs, weight management, and any dog building back up in measured steps.
Slatmill
A non-motorized treadmill your dog powers with their own stride. Because the dog drives the belt, they set their own speed and can push hard or ease off at will. Slatmill work builds rear-end drive, speed, and strength — what sport and working dog handlers reach for, and just as good an outlet for an active family dog with energy to burn.

Programs Built Around a Goal
Working toward something specific? A program gives your dog a written plan, a clear start, and a defined finish.
Puppy Foundations
~15 min · 1–2× weekly · 4–8 weeksExposure first. Short, low-key visits get your puppy comfortable with the gym, the sound of the belt, and the feel of it underfoot, so the equipment is familiar long before it's a workout. Pace and duration stay well inside what growing joints can handle — the goal is a puppy who already knows how to use the gear and is ready for real sessions when their body is.
Endurance Build
~40–60 min · 2–3× weekly · ~8–12 weeksLong treadmill intervals build the aerobic base, and slatmill sets train speed and rear-end drive. Built for sport and working dogs who need to repeat hard efforts and recover quickly between them.
Behavior Support
~30 min · 2–3× weekly · 5–10 weeksRegular physical activity can be an important part of a well-rounded behavior plan, especially for dogs who need a consistent outlet for energy. When your dog is working with a trainer or behavior specialist, we align our plan with theirs so the conditioning supports the behavior work rather than cutting across it.
Return to Activity
Duration & frequency · Vet directedOnce your vet clears your dog, we rebuild cardiovascular fitness and stamina in small, measured steps. Every progression stays inside the limits your veterinarian sets, so your dog returns to activity without backsliding.
Senior Conditioning
Duration & frequency · Vet directedA cushioned deck and a handler-set pace let older dogs keep moving at an effort that suits them. Regular, low-impact cardio helps hold muscle and mobility without loading sore joints.
Weight Loss Support
Duration & frequency · Vet directedThe exercise half of your veterinarian's weight-loss plan: steady, low-impact treadmill work that burns calories while your dog keeps muscle. We start at your dog's current fitness level and add time before speed, so joints already carrying extra weight are not overloaded.
Your Dog's Health Comes First
Your dog's health and safety are always our priority. We're not veterinarians and don't provide veterinary advice, but we're happy to work alongside your vet when needed. If your dog has a prior injury or serious medical condition, we ask for veterinary clearance before starting and will build each session around the guidelines and limitations your veterinarian provides.
Our Service Areas
EnduroDog serves all of Colorado Springs, Colorado, plus Gleneagle, Black Forest, Peyton, Falcon, and Security-Widefield. In gated communities and base housing, check with your HOA or housing office first, then tell us what they need — we supply licensing, insurance, and vehicle details.
Meet the Owner
Hi, I'm Keshia, owner and operator of EnduroDog. Before starting EnduroDog, I spent nearly a decade in tech, working in business operations. The most meaningful work, however, came through volunteering with a nonprofit that built a platform to connect shelter animals across the country with rescues, fosters, and adoptive families before they ran out of time. Their mission was to bring modern technology into the nonprofit space — where it's often underutilized — and use it to help save animals' lives. I saw the real impact we can make when purpose and innovation come together.
My path into canine fitness was shaped by that experience and by my own dogs, Nanook and Cooper. Nanook is a parvo survivor, and Cooper came to me from a shelter recovering from a serious leg injury. Helping them through recovery taught me firsthand how much consistent care, proper nutrition, and purposeful activity can influence a dog's strength and quality of life. Today, they're both active Colorado dogs who love a good trail, a long game of fetch, and anything that gets them moving.
Dogs rely on us to help them stay strong and healthy. In return, they give us companionship, get us outdoors, and remind us to make the most of the time we have together.
To help more dogs live full, active, adventure-filled lives alongside the people who love them.
A Canine Fitness Community
EnduroDog is more than a pet service. We're growing a canine fitness community in Colorado Springs, bringing dogs and their people together through movement, adventure, and connection.
Pack Hikes
Monthly guided hikes focused on exploration, socialization, and real-world conditioning, each one led by a featured local dog trainer. Meet a different expert every month. Open to all EnduroDog clients. Locations vary with weather and trail conditions, so follow us on Instagram for the next one.
Supporting Local Shelters & Rescues
Every month our team volunteers at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, running shelter dogs in our mobile gym, taking them on outdoor walks, and giving them real one-on-one playtime before they head back to their kennels well-exercised and content. It's some of the most meaningful work we do.
What Colorado Springs
Dog Owners Say
Snow had a great time with EnduroDog Canine Fitness! They came to our home, which made the experience even more convenient and comfortable.
Snow was a little shy and apprehensive at first, but by the end she wanted to get back on the treadmill. Keshia and her assistant were kind, patient, and understanding with both of us. They took the time to help Snow feel comfortable and never rushed her.
We're looking forward to more sessions. Thank you, ladies!

Dogs had a blast running with EnduroDog! My girl was so happy to get a chance to run like this, she was exhausted both physically and mentally after. This is perfect for high energy dogs who need an outlet. The owners are extremely well versed in what they do. Their trailer is clean and air conditioned which is appreciated on hot days. My girl loved the slatmill for some fun running and my boy thoroughly enjoyed the treadmill to get him warmed up. Can't wait to be back!

EnduroDog came out to our house on short notice for an intro session with our 5 month old Belgian Malinois. The visit was very positive, and they were able to effectively train my puppy to use the treadmill. He had a blast and it definitely got some energy out, both mentally and physically. We plan on signing up for more workout sessions, and cannot wait to see his progression! Thank you EnduroDog!

Common Questions
What is EnduroDog?
EnduroDog is a mobile dog gym in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We bring canine fitness equipment and a trained handler to your home for guided, one-on-one exercise sessions.
How much does a mobile dog gym session cost in Colorado Springs?
A single session is $50 for about 30 minutes. New clients start with the Intro Pack: three sessions for $100, with the first one free. Monthly plans are $160 for weekly and $300 for twice weekly, which brings the rate as low as $37.50 a session.
What is the difference between a dog treadmill and a slatmill?
A canine treadmill is motorized, so the handler sets an exact pace. A slatmill is non-motorized and moves only when the dog moves, so your dog controls the speed. EnduroDog carries both and matches the equipment to the work your dog needs.
Is a dog treadmill safe for my dog?
Yes, when a trained handler runs the session. A handler stays beside your dog from warm-up through cooldown, watching how they move and easing off the moment anything looks off. Your dog is never on the equipment alone.
My dog has never used a treadmill. Is that a problem?
No, and most of our dogs start there. The Intro Pack exists for exactly this. Early sessions are short and your dog sets the pace.
Do I need to be home during the session?
Yes. An adult needs to be home for every session. We work out of our mobile gym at your curb and we do not enter your home, so you don't need to be in the room the whole time, but someone should be on the property while your dog is with us.
Can you work with a dog who has a past injury or a health condition?
Often, yes, and safety comes first. We are not veterinarians and do not provide veterinary advice, so any dog with a past injury or a serious medical condition needs veterinary clearance before starting. Once your vet signs off, we'll build a program inside the limits they set, share our session notes with them, and adjust as your dog progresses. Several of our programs, including Return to Activity, Senior Conditioning, and Weight Loss Support, are designed to run this way from day one.
How often should my dog train?
Most dogs do well with one to two sessions a week. That's enough to build and hold conditioning without crowding the rest of their routine. Dogs training more than twice a week are usually working toward a specific goal, like endurance building or a return to activity, and that's handled through a custom program rather than a standing schedule.
