Guest Eamon.Mc Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Slat mills are better they are free running, the weight of the dog walking runs the mill. There's 1 for sale on smoochers if you're a member there. Quote Link to post

Neil Cooney. 1 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 IMO when a terrier is worked hard on a mill it leaves the terrier hyper and highly strung. To use a mill properly the dog should be walked first untill it emptys and then walked after it's mill work 'till it cools down. If you don't empty the dog first you'll just boil the piss in it's kidneys while it's on the mill. Lets face it ,if a terrier has a good sized pen and gets a bit of exercise every day ie. a 40 minute road walk or an hours mooching, most terriers would be plenty fit for most terrier men.

Ive seen the one your on about, a local lad made it. any one who does have a tread mill for terriers not running dogs, they are a 100% evidence catagory that the rspca use against dog fighters they wont care that its for the well fare of the dog there narrow minded views will just brand you a dog fighter Quote Link to post

justin 2 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 i use a treadmill for my american bulldog... he loves it and the problem i have is getting him off it... as has been pointed out, let him piss before he goes on and i tend to leave him going at a slower pace to warm up and to cool down...brilliant tool for conditioning, my jrt will run on it if asked but needs a bit of stimulation to be happy on there...i use an electric mill and find that as long as your there to keep an eye on him 100 percent of the time then theres no problem...good luck...
