Re: Treadmil...

Thanks for that link.

I know greyhound racers sometimes use the treadmill. I have seen a few dog treadmills for sale that were used for a greyhound.

And I beg to differ about dogs not caring about the wind and the rain too!! You see how miserable Dixie and Dave are in the wind and the rain you would agree with me.
They put there tail right between there legs, Dixie puts her head down really low and holds her ears right up like little umbarellas. She spends the whole walk as close to me as possible (for a dog that loves to pull that's something). Once let off the lead she goes and wees as quickly as possible then if I don't catch her soon enough she starts off back home again, doing her ''collie crouch'' making herself as small as possible. She won't even fetch in the wind and rain and that's her fave game.
If we happen to get caught in a downpour while in the field she goes and lies under a bush.

Dave is freaked out by the wind, he hates it flapping his ears, and constantly shakes his head. He won't go out in the dark if its windy unless Dixie goes too, because one night the gate was open and it banged, he ran full pelt back to his bed.


She gets plenty of mental exercise in and around the house, but if I had some way of getting her physically exercised that she enjoyed without making her miserable, then I would.
