DIY - Dog Walk Mat Attachment

02 Jan 2024Steve Schwarz

I’ve moved Spark’s running dog walk mat (a cut up yoga mat) onto the plank. You can buy fancy contact mats with integral straps. For now I just put some grommets through the corners of my mat and used a bungee cord underneath to hold it flat/in place. Thought I’d share if anyone found this useful.

Some folks wrap the bungee (or a strap) all the way around the plank and mat, but I didn’t want Spark to cue off the bungee’s presence; only the mat itself.

Used my grommet tool to punch these in the corners.

I might find a lighter weight and shorter bungee. But this does the trick for now.

Seems to hold pretty well and doesn't stick up at the front.
