About The Dog Run
A Mission Built on Faith, Service, and a Deep Love for Dog Exercise
At The Dog Run, we believe that dog exercise is more than physical activity — it’s a foundation for better health, calmer behavior, stronger bonds, and happier homes. Our story begins with a lifelong love of dogs, a passion for service, and a commitment to improving the well-being of dogs and their humans through structured, intentional exercise.
As Northwest Florida’s first mobile dog gym, located in Navarre, Florida, our mission is to bring meaningful dog exercise directly to families who want the very best for their pets. From high-energy working dogs to anxious pups who need confidence-building routines, every dog deserves the chance to thrive through safe, guided movement.
Our Story: A Veteran’s Purpose Meets a Dog’s Need
Jake Noojin – Founder, Owner & Dog Handler
Hello! My name is Jake Noojin, founder of The Dog Run, Northwest Florida’s first mobile dog gym. My journey to creating this business began years ago, rooted in a lifelong love of dogs and strengthened by years of military service.
Dogs have always been part of my family and brought comfort, stability, and unconditional love into our lives. After retiring from the military, I searched for a new purpose that would bring fulfillment to both me and my family — something meaningful, uplifting, and built on service.
That purpose became clear:
Helping dogs and their owners through healthy, structured dog exercise.
I created The Dog Run to strengthen relationships, improve behavior, and give dogs a safe and fun way to release their natural energy. Whether your dog needs confidence, structure, or simply a good workout, I’m here to help.
Angela Noojin – Administrator & Scheduler
When Jake first shared his idea for The Dog Run, I knew instantly that it would be something special. I’ve seen Jake’s passion for dogs from the very beginning of our relationship — he even helped train my dog when we were dating, which eliminated behavior issues I couldn’t solve alone!
Over the years, I’ve watched him bring out the best in dogs with patience, love, and leadership. It’s truly no surprise dogs love him right back.
Together, we are honored to serve our community by providing a safe, structured, and joyful dog exercise experience that helps families live calmer, happier lives.
We sincerely pray that our services are a blessing to you and your beloved dog.
