Most Dog Treadmills Build Noise. Firepaw Builds Working Dogs.

Why We Chose the World’s Leading Dog Treadmills

The canine conditioning world is full of tools that promise performance and quietly deliver injury, over-arousal, and short careers. We built Dogs & Deadlifts to push back against that. Firepaw stood out because their treadmills aren’t designed for trends — they’re built for dogs that need to hold up under real pressure, over real time.

This partnership isn’t about selling treadmills. It’s about building dogs that can actually work — longer, cleaner, and with less wear on their bodies and minds.

The Firepaw Phoenix Dog Treadmill Gen 10 (Slatmill)

The Gold Standard for Speed, Endurance, and Conditioning

The Firepaw Phoenix Gen 10 isn’t just a slatmill — it’s the reference point other treadmills are measured against worldwide.

Used in treadmill racing, elite sport kennels, and professional units including police and NATO-affiliated teams, the Phoenix has earned its reputation through performance, not hype.

Why it matters:

Advanced Joint Protection Firepaw’s unique shock-absorbing system dramatically reduces impact, protecting joints, tendons, and connective tissue over the long term — especially critical for high-drive, high-output dogs.

Unmatched Running Feel Large aluminum wheels combined with custom-designed running wheels create exceptional inertia. The result is a smooth, natural stride that allows dogs to move freely without fighting the belt.

Industry-Leading Safety & Control Firepaw pioneered the adjustable disc brake system over 12 years ago. The Gen 10 version offers instant stopping and precise control — still the most advanced and reliable braking system available today.

Hybrid, Purpose-Built Design A rock-solid steel base paired with lightweight, rust-resistant aluminum profiles means:

• Stability for any dog size

• Minimal hair and dust buildup

• Long-term durability

• A clean, professional aesthetic

The aluminum frame also allows for meaningful customization, not gimmicks.

True Versatility The ultra free-spinning belt makes the Phoenix suitable for:

• Large working dogs

• Sport dogs

• Small and even miniature breeds

When programmed correctly, this mill builds aerobic capacity, recovery, coordination, and controlled drive — not chaos.

The Firepaw Dragon “Carpet” Dog Treadmill (Generation 4)

Controlled Resistance for Power, Strength, and Rehabilitation

Where the Phoenix builds the engine, the Firepaw Dragon Gen 4 builds force production.

This is a true resistance mill, designed for structured, high-intensity efforts where control and joint protection are non-negotiable.

Why we use it:

Resistance That Builds Real PowerThe Dragon is purpose-built for:

• Muscle development

• Weight pulling

• Short, intense strength sessions

It’s ideal for large, medium, and powerful small dogs who need controlled loading rather than endless speed.

Built-In Joint Protection (A First of Its Kind)The Dragon is the only professional carpet mill that includes advanced joint protection — a critical feature when working under resistance, especially for older or giant breeds.

Targeted, Ethical Training Perfect for:

• Structured fitness blocks

• Rehabilitation and return-to-work plans

• Building functional strength without over-arousal

This is strength work with intention, not exhaustion for exhaustion’s sake.

Ergonomics & Quiet Operation An improved adjustable dog-holding system ensures correct positioning, while low-noise operation keeps sessions calm, focused, and stress-free.

Customizable & Practica Despite its capability, the Dragon remains:

• Lightweight

• Easy to store

• Available in custom frame and color options
  

One System. Two Tools. Endless Application.

Both the Phoenix Gen 10 and Dragon Gen 4 feature Firepaw’s patented design, developed through years of real-world use with working, sport, and performance dogs.

At Dogs & Deadlifts, we don’t see treadmills as fitness toys.We see them as precision tools — when used correctly.

That’s exactly why Firepaw fits seamlessly into our upcoming Driven to Move program:

• Build aerobic engines without frying nerves

• Develop power without breaking dogs

• Teach handlers how to condition with clarity, not ego

This partnership is about raising the standard of canine conditioning in Australia and beyond.
