Default Treadmills

Anyone use one for their dog?

I don't know why I am just now trying it... but we have a treadmill over at my dads house, and we decided to finally dust it off (it doesn't get used much ) and we were going to try and train their overweight Dachshund/Spaniel Mix, Buddy, to use it since he doesn't like to do much of any thing else ... (he won't swim in the pool, he hates running, etc). Well of course he throws his feet down and won't move... so we gotta work on him.

But Jackson and Lilly (my dads Jack Russell mix) took right to it! They LOVE it! Jackson happily hops on and I put it on level 1 and he starts walking like a pro. I am still holding his harness to help him keep his balance but he looks adorable and seriously loves it. I'm going to try and get it on video!

But I'm thinking it's a great way to wear some of his energy out on a rainy day like today, or if it's too hot to go outside...
