hawkins26 751 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Do any of you lads use treadmills to keep the dogs fit? If so what make and model do you use I am getting that much overtime its hard to get them out as much as I would like Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Never tried it myself but would a Lurcher hit the treadmill with the same intensity a Bulldog will?? Get off your lazy backside and give it plenty of roadwork, I'd much rather be out in the fresh air and the scenery haha. Quote Link to post

MoChara 1,632 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I had one years ago, had the dog running on it in no time with abit of bribery but tbh I sold it within a month of having it. Walking/running outside was much better not only for the dog but also for ourselves... Clears the oul mind lol Quote Link to post

Johnlurcher 35 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I had one and to be honest your dog would prefer get out smelling after the fields or road plus you have to watch em incase they fall or something so your standing around which is boring, bulldog owners use them because they can't let there dog's run free incase they go for stock or other dogs! I sold my to a mate who uses it to exercise his terriers but to be fair there 2 marked up to take out in public! Pro no one's know what you have until you hunt em that is! Con dogs what abit of freeze air and will get sick of it Quote Link to post
