carruthers 7 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) i have never used one but would like to. its another means of exercise especially if the treadmill has a degree of incline. this would tighten up the dogs muscles and give them stamina.(summer training) walking + trotting + the occasional running + diet = an excellent conditioned animal. i cant see the problem with using a treadmill for the extra exercise, but you still have to walk your dog. You could use the treadmill everytime you clean out there pens, runs or kennels and set it to a 2-3degree incline. Edited May 22, 2010 by carruthers Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,863 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 A dog MUST be road walked regularly,but a mill is a fabulous addition to a man that has more than a few dogs.I had 2 on the go at one time,I owned 9 dogs back then and they were all road walked but also were on the mill when needed.All those who come up with ''A LAZY MANS TOOL''havent had a full time job or the pressures of making sure the dogs and family were kept at a happy balance.They are a great addition to the working dogmans kennel.
