Treadmil...
I am trying to get hold of a treadmil (for me).
I want to get a bit more exercise and at the moment going out jogging isnt an option as the time I get to go out, is the time I use to take the dogs, and jogging with them is a disaster. I have to keep stopping. I thought training them to be beside me while I jog on a treadmil would be good to start off with. Then I wondered, if its particularly horrible, rather than make the dogs miserable taking them out in the wind and rain (Dixie hates rain) could I get them to run on it too? Obviously I would not make them run fast or anything, or tie them to it. But has anyone ever used one before with a dog?

Re: Treadmil...
Gotta be careful with treadmills - they're classed as 'dog fighting paraphernalia'

Re: Treadmil...
Never heard that one before..
My dogs certainly arent fighters! Lol Would I start by treating them for standing on it? I've seen it used for exercising on a well known program before, using rewards. x

Re: Treadmil...
Hmmmm no idea, but your well known dog programme person got his arse sued off when a dog in his care almost died strangling itself on one.

Re: Treadmil...
Did you guys know they sell "dog treadmills"? As in, treadmills just for dogs? It's a bit crazy if you ask me!

Re: Treadmil...
I think its a terrible idea. I would be scared of them breaking their legs etc if they fell. Dogs don't care about the wind and rain, it's the owners that do.
