Some of the replys are just not realistic for everyone. Exercising dogs 3 times a day, all running loose is just not possiable for most of the dog men I know. A friend of mine uses a treadmill for his terriers and swears by it for keeping the dogs fit. I'm thinking of getting one myself

truth is a lot of working terriers get laid up out of season some dont even see the outside of the kennel .. if a terriers walked daily fed well out of season once it gets goin it will soon get up to full fitness ..

Lmao @ 2 hrs on a mill!!! And what could possibly be wrong with getting a dog in the best shape possible before putting them in a physically challenging situation. Lazy people don't own mills, lazy people think a walk around the block means "fighting fit". Most people who own mills have a lot invested and take their dogs seriously.

heres a thought,I have a terrier that cant be let loose EVER.Hes bad with anything on four legs but works 100%If he was loose hed run and search until he found an earthIf I could afford one Id sure have one without a second thought..I believe a treadmill would be a great bit of kit.

I have a tread mill bought a few weeks ago, not cheap either. My dogs get walked, worked, play, and use the mill, they love it and howl with excitement to get on it. Another form of stimulation, helps condition, keeps them fit and they are not on it long. ive managed to work out a really good training regime for the dogs. The bitch that is prone to weight gain even with the sniff of food works on the mill as an extention to everything else she does. My patter jacks go on it for pure fun. Sorry guys dont knock it if you havent tried it. I was very sceptical at first and now its just part of a daily routine around the dogs.

just a waste off money terriers exercise themselves if givin the chance i havent tried 1 an to be honest dont want to this is bull shit let me no how many injurys youse get using a tredmill lazy fuckers :censored: :censored:

[long dogs 580]

you shouldnt get any injurys if you use them right and never leave unnatended i had one years ago but got rid mine wouldnt use it it is better to walk the fields tho for me and the dogs

[sallie 67]

people arent lazy fuckers for using them thats just ignorance and lack of ability and intelligence to try and see another point of view or just plain bigotted. Just because you use a treadmill doesnt mean they dont get exercise!!!! Mine get 2 hours per day and i have 8.....

People on here, slagging off treadmills sound like they have never used them and basically have no idea what there talking about, as usual when someone has something to say they jump in with there opinion based on nothing but assumption, treadmills used correctly with the right training programme and plenty of road work can get a dog in top physical condition, which a couple of daily walks on the lead doesnt even get close to. Just for the record i dont own one, but have owned/used them in the past.
