ABOUT

WE KEEP DOGS HAPPY AND HEALTHY THROUGH EXERCISE.

Canine health professionals know how critical regular exercise is for your dog’s physical and mental health. That’s why many of our clients have been referred to us by veterinarians and trainers.

Mental & Behavioral Benefits

Our Daily Fitness Sessions have proved beneficial to help curb behavioral issues, assist behavior therapy, and relieve stress and anxiety. An active lifestyle is critical to the well-being of every dog.

Elite Athletes

Our team consists of collegiate cross-country and track runners, marathoners and endurance athletes who are passionate about running and dogs! All our Athletes are fully vetted and go through an extensive hiring and training process before they work with any of our clients.

Build Endurance

When your dog starts our fitness program we slowly build up his or her endurance with interval training. Our sessions begin with a warm up walk and end with a cool down on the way back home.

Safety First

Our Athletes are trained to carefully watch for discomfort including; dehydration, overheating, and fatigue. If they see any signs of struggling, tiring, or erratic behavior they will end the work out immediately, contact our fully staffed office, and leave an appropriate daily progress report.

Rick via Yelp

“The Running Paws team rocks my world! We moved from Dallas to NYC last fall with two very active Blue Heeler mix dogs, and worried about them getting enough activity in the city....”

Yoni via Yelp

“... Everyone is very kind and responsive. If you're looking for a dog walker, Running Paws is a similarly priced and superior option for keeping your pup healthy and happy.”

SERVICES

TAILORED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF EACH DOG

Buddy Fitness Sessions

Exclusive Fitness Sessions

Buddy Sessions are limited to just two dogs. We only pair your pup with another if they have similar ability and compatible temperament.

The goal of our Daily Fitness Sessions is to maintain your dog's fitness and good health, not to log miles. As every dog has his or her own needs we'll provide an "Evaluation Session" at our introductory meeting so we can recommend the right service for your pup.

Exclusive Sessions mean your pup has his or her sessions alone with one of our athletes.

Like the Buddy Sessions, our goal is to provide each pup with the proper amount of daily exercise for physical and mental balance.

Fast Paced Walks

Fast Pace Walks promote healthy exercise at a brisk pace, assuring your dog gets a healthy dose of fresh air! Just like our dog jogging program, we provide exclusive and small group 30 and 45-minute walks.

We never pack walk, so your pup will have plenty of freedom to have fun in a stress free group.

Offered citywide from 110th street to Battery Park City, East to West.

It all began with a simple idea. Dogs like to run.
