When my English Setter was a show dog, her trainer put her on a dog treadmill every day to keep her in tip-top shape. It is a treadmill whose height can be adjusted and the trainer stands at the rail and holds the dog on its lead very firmly ALL THE TIME. Otherwise, treadmills can be extremely dangerous to all dogs.
We don't need a treadmill for Higgy. He has two speeds: Stop and Full Speed. He is developing some nice sleek muscle, that little guy. His tug strength is improving! |
