PMul 145 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Looks nice, but save yourself some coin. Buy an e.mill and a flirt pole. 1 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,650 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Probably better off looking at an electric mill, second hand from a gym..... Put some ply sides on it... Half the price of a specialist dog mill.... 2 Quote Link to post

The slat mill will teach your dog how to control its heart rate as well as avoid heat walls where as the E Mill won’t do this. 2 Quote Link to post
JMc 226 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Bird in that picture is 1/5th actual size,like getting a sofa from Argos...only your nine year old can fit on it ,work for the dog though I guess Quote Link to post

That's why I suggested getting a flit pole (cheap fishing rod) as well. IMO (if done right) the e mill will put a solid bottom under your dog, the flirt pole is there to increase the heart rate and get the dog used to control his breathing. A trainer should be careful not to hurt their dog with either. 1 Quote Link to post

A trainer should be careful not to hurt their dog with either. The flirt pole can help with agility as well. Like you said you do have to be careful to not cause injury to their backs due to the sharp turning and jumping to catch the flirt. Many bulldog fanciers will utilize a carpet mill to increase strength of a dog. Quote Link to post
