ABOUT ROCKET PAWS
Fuel their zoom. Launch their health.
Rocket Paws is a mobile dog gym offering private trainer-guided slatmill sessions that help dogs burn energy, build confidence, and support long-term health — all from the convenience of your driveway. Slatmill training gives dogs a structured outlet that supports both body and mind.
We tailor every session to your dog’s pace, personality, and goals in a safe, supportive environment.
Our sessions can help:
Burn excess energy
Support Healthy weight goals
Build stamina and focus
Boost confidence
Reduce boredom-related behaviors
Stay active during bad weather
Rocket Paws combines years of experience with a genuine passion for helping dogs and their people live healthier, happier lives, all while supporting local rescues, foster programs, and family-run pet stores.
Because it’s not just about exercise. It’s about building a stronger, healthier community, one dog at a time.
Why we do it
At Rocket Paws, we believe every dog deserves the chance to feel their best physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Slatmill training isn’t just about exercise; it’s about confidence, enrichment, and balance.
A regular run can help dogs burn off energy, shed extra weight, and reduce unwanted behaviors caused by boredom or pent-up stress.
For high-drive and working breeds, it’s a safe and structured outlet that builds stamina and focus, while for more anxious dogs, it’s a way to build confidence and calm.
Whether your goal is long-term wellness or just giving your best friend some quick exercise before a holiday gathering or busy weekend, slatmill sessions provide stimulation and release dogs need to thrive.
At Rocket Paws, we’re here to fuel their zoom and launch their health — because when dogs thrive, so do their homes.

OUR STORY
Rocket Paws was created from lived experience and a deep belief that dogs thrive when their exercise is consistent, thoughtful, and accessible.
While living in downtown Milwaukee with two large, high-energy dogs, Paulina saw firsthand how challenging it can be to maintain a quality fitness routine through harsh weather, busy weeks, and everyday life. As her love for dog sports and training grew, the vision became clear: a mobile dog gym that delivers safe, fun, customized exercise right to client’s doorsteps.

Paulina is the heart behind Rocket Paws and a lifelong pet industry professional. After ten years of traveling with her German Shepherd, Romeo, and learning from top pet care and training experts, she set out to bring that knowledge home to create something local, personal, and impactful.
Rocket Paws was born from her love for dogs, her passion for fitness, and her commitment to serving the community.
When Paulina isn’t exercising dogs she enjoys spending quality time with Romeo and her Belgian Malinois Masha.

FAQs
1. Is it safe? Yes. Every session is supervised inside our climate-controlled van and tailored to your dog.
2. How long is a session? Most runs last about 30 minutes. We use that time to make sure your dog feels confident and gets a solid workout with potty and water breaks as needed.
3. What should I do before our appointment? Keep it simple: no food for at least two hours before your scheduled run and a potty break 30 minutes prior to your dog’s session.
4. How often should my dog run? Most dogs thrive with one or two sessions a week. It helps with fitness, weight management, and burning off extra energy. After your intro run, we’ll help you find the routine that’s best for your pup.
5. Can I join my dog? We invite every owner to join any session for as long as they’d like. We’re also prepared and dedicated to forming a bond with your dog for when our Pet Parents need a break.
What to expect after a Rocket Paws run
Once your dog is finished running they may be tired, thirsty, and in need of some rest. If your pup is older or a little sore, a gentle massage or soft brush might help ease any stiffness.
