The Equipment
What Is a Slatmill?
Paired with the Julius-K9 IDC Powerharness we run on every dog.
Every session runs on a commercial slatmill - built for controlled pace, not backyard chaos. See the full breakdown.
One dog at a time - every Kai's Run session is private.
INTRO SESSION
Intro Session
$35 one dog / $55 two dogs, same household
30–45 min
Includes:
- ✓Fitness assessment
- ✓Personalized "Run Profile" card
- ✓Progress photo texted
- ✓Protein treat for your dog(s) after the session
Best for: First-time clients, skeptical owners, proof-of-concept session
The intro is not a sales pitch in disguise - it is a structured evaluation. We watch how your dog loads into the harness, how they respond to the moving surface, and how quickly they find a sustainable rhythm. You leave with a Run Profile card that captures baseline fitness notes, behavior cues we noticed, and a recommended cadence if you decide to continue.
Because we operate on routed schedules, the intro also confirms your address fits the day's geography without guessing. If the slatmill is not the right tool for your dog, we will tell you directly rather than pushing another package.
LIMITED - 20 SPOTS
Founding Athlete
$200 for 5 sessions ($40/session)
30–45 min per session
Includes:
- ✓5 full conditioning sessions
- ✓Lowest rate ever offered
- ✓Never available again
Best for: Owners who want the lowest rate before Founding spots run out
The Founding Athlete program is a one-time offer for the first 20 dogs through the door. Five sessions at $40 each effective - an introductory rate we will never offer again once these spots are gone.
Founding Athletes get the same private session protocol as every other tier: warm-up, structured intervals, cool-down, and a photo plus recap after each visit. The difference is purely economic - you are betting on the service early, and we reward that with our best-ever per-session rate for this limited window only.
PRIVATE SESSION
Private Conditioning Session
$70 one dog / $135 two dogs, same household
30–45 min per dog (up to 90 min for two dogs)
Includes:
- ✓Structured conditioning session, pay per visit
- ✓Two dogs, same household = two individual sessions, back-to-back
- ✓Same private session protocol every visit
Best for: Owners who want a single session without a package
A Private Conditioning Session is a single visit - no package, no commitment. One dog runs $70 for 30–45 minutes of structured work. Two dogs from the same household run $135 for two individual, back-to-back sessions in one visit - up to 45 minutes each, 90 minutes total. Every session runs the same protocol: warm-up, working sets, cool-down, and a photo plus recap texted within the hour.
If you already know your cadence, Session Packages lock in a lower per-session rate. If you want to test the water first, book a Private Conditioning Session.
SESSION PACKAGES
Session Packages
3-session $195 (1 dog) / $380 (2 dogs) · 5-session $300 (1 dog) / $580 (2 dogs)
30–45 min per session
Includes:
- ✓Prepaid session block at a lower per-session rate
- ✓Two dogs, same household = one individual session per dog, every visit
- ✓Same private session protocol every visit
Best for: Owners locking in a cadence and a lower per-session rate
Session Packages prepay a block of visits at a lower rate than paying one session at a time. Three sessions bring the rate to $65 each; five sessions bring it to $60 each. Two-dog households get a modest discount built into the two-dog package total - you are still booking one individual session per dog, back-to-back, every visit.
Packages suit owners who already know the slatmill works for their dog and want to lock in savings without committing to a recurring membership.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Inside a Kai's Run visit
When the rig stops at your curb we level it, open climate control, and walk your dog through a short introduction to the sound of the slats and the feel of the belt underfoot. There is no crowd cheering them on - just clear cues, steady rewards, and a handler who reads pant, tail set, and foot placement the same way a track coach reads splits.
Warm-up is non-negotiable: a few minutes of loose-leash movement, figure eights, or controlled turns so tendons are awake before we ask for power. Working sets are intervals of self-paced trotting or running with planned micro-breaks for water and reset. Cool-down mirrors warm-up in reverse so the dog walks away loose instead of crated-tight.
After we pack up you receive a photo plus a plain-language recap - distance estimates when helpful, attitude notes, and what we would adjust next visit. That feedback loop is how owners see progress stack week over week instead of guessing from zoomies alone. If anything felt off, read the FAQ or message us before the next booking.
Every session is recorded start to finish on two cameras for safety and progress tracking. A stocked canine first-aid kit rides along for every visit - same safety-first standard.
OUR PROMISE
The Tired Dog Guarantee
Every dog will be noticeably tired or we work with them on the next session at no charge.
