Mahu Miles

It’s a one-on-one dog running service designed specifically for high-energy dogs that need more than a standard walk to burn off physical and mental energy.

$64 but what do I get?

• 1-on-1 focus: 45 minutes of a structured, solo run tailored to your dog's fitness level.

• Free no-obligation meet & greet: Meet us and make sure this is the right service for your dog.

• Full data: A map of their route and a tally of the kilometers they smashed.

• Proof of pace: Photos of your dog running like the wind.

• Door-to-door service: Convenient pick-up and drop-off included.

• Peace of mind: The same professional, flexible, force-free service you expect from Mahu Mutts.

To protect growing joints, puppies must be at least 12 to 18 months old (depending on the breed) before starting a running regime. Senior dogs are welcome as long as they have a clean bill of health from the vet.

No. Mahu Miles is strictly a one-on-one service. Your dog gets 100% of my attention to ensure they stay safe, focused, and run at a pace that suits them perfectly.

We strictly run at your dog's pace. We look out for signs of fatigue, heat stress, or soreness, and we will walk, take sniff breaks, or stop for water whenever they need it. It’s about fit, healthy exercise, not running them into the ground.

Yes, we pick up around Featherston and return the dog tired and content afterwards.

Dogs must be fitted with a secure, comfortable harness that allows full shoulder movement. We use a secure running belt and a specialized bungee leash to absorb any sudden pulls or shocks, keeping your dog safe is the priority.

To start, we will only be servicing Featherston however depending on demand and availability we hope to branch out into South Wairarapa.

Not necessarily. Once we’ve done our initial consultation and established a secure way to access your property, I can collect and return your dog while you’re out so you can come home to a tired and contented dog.

We run rain or shine, but extreme weather will affect our ability to safely perform the service. Extreme heat, heavy winds, rain, or official weather warnings mean we will pivot for safety. In these cases, the run can be replaced with a home check-in, which includes letting your dog out for a toilet break, refreshing their food and water, and hanging out with them so they aren't left alone for too long.

At the initial meet & greet I will assess suitability to the service and it is on a case by case basis. Every dog is different and responds in different ways. We use safe, controlled routes and avoid heavy trigger areas to keep things as stress-free as possible so tell s about your dog and we will go from there.

Yes, the runner will track your dog’s run and provide a map with a photo or video of your dog running off all that energy.

Mahu Miles is designed for the high energy breeds who enjoy plenty of exercise and exertion. If you’re unsure this service is right for you and your dog, contact us and we can talk about your options and what you’re hoping to get from the service. If you decide it’s not right for your dog then we have plenty more services that we have designed to accommodate every Man and his dog.

The first step is to fill out the book now form. Specify on the form that you’re interested in signing your dog up to Mahu Miles.

We will then do an initial meet & greet. This lets us assess your dog's current fitness level, discuss any medical history or behavioral quirks, and make sure we’re setting off on the right foot.

Mahu Miles runs from Thursday to Saturday with 8 spots available each week. You can specify on your book now form which day and time you would prefer and we will do our best to accommodate.
