How He Built a DOG RUNNING Business from SCRATCH

How Much Can You Make Running Dogs on a Treadmill? RunBuddy Mobile is the world’s first mobile dog gym, offering personalized workouts for your dog right at your doorstep!
Founded by David Lopez, who has over two decades of experience rehabilitating shelter dogs, RunBuddy was created to help dog owners maximize their pets' physical and mental well-being. With 7 Vans on the Road, David has ran Dogs over 250,000 times and he says that his clients have experienced longevity and a new found confidence! His Treadmills have a free flowing belt and a weighted wheel that guarantees focus and higher heart rate! Each 30-minute session is carefully designed to engage both the mind and body of your dog. David says that a once weekly Run is more beneficial than a standard dog walk because it helps brains function and also helps build muscles that are not normally flexed!

In this video, he'll explain what made him start the business and where the idea came from, how he gets dogs to run on Treadmills for the first time, his business model, what he charges, how to become a dog runner, custom treadmills, how much he pays for marketing, the avatar of his typical customers and much more! I learned so much from my time with David, I hope You enjoy and learn as much as I did! Leave your comments below!

My only question is, you can buy a treadmill like that for under $700 so after 11 sessions, you could have already paid for the treadmill and have your dog run in your house 4 or more times a week forever.
