88lx5oh Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 i always wanted to get my retrievers to do this, but could never manage too. saw this on dog wisperer, and always though man that would be cool. so started training my mastiff to do it.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 You do know that dogs can exercise outside right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 sure do, and they do. but i wanted to try it out, good way to get some exercise and tire them out if its frigid outside. he sleeps alot better after wearing himself for the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 starting out he just want to slide, he quickly learned he had to walk on it. he still needs to get more adapted to it, but im surprised he picked it up that fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAWDAD Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Wonder if he has that weird feeling after being on the treadmill. You know what I am talking about if you ever ran on one. Feels a little differant to walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 can you teach me to get my lazy ass on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 We put our Yorkie on one every other day in the winter for 20-30 minutes. He's to the point now where even when we get on the treadmill for ourselves he'll jump on and want to join in. It's a great way to get the energy out on the cold days. Don't know what we'd do without having it around. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I used to do this with Titan when I lived in Vegas. People used to ask me if he was on any steroids, etc. I've actually been kinda on the lookout for another treadmill. May I suggest getting him a harness? It's much more suited for this (until he starts doing it on his own) and for walking/control. Especially, a big dog. I'll start you off with a link to company I've used for years. You cannot beat the pricing, quality and customer service. http://www.fordogtrainers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 LOL so u basically chained him up to the treadmill and if he stopped he'd choke himself out. original name btw ryan. lol just messin negative, we watched him if he completely stopped i picked him up before it choked him out. its a process, and i for sure would never hurt my dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
