treadmills? I have trained Chattie and Peppy to walk on my treadmill. They absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE to go for our "walks". I am curious -- does anyone else walk with their yorkies on a treadmill? I will climb on and start it up at around 1 mph and Peppy will jump on and then here comes Chattie. It took a little effort to begin with, but within 3 days Peppy was jumping on the treadmill asking for me to turn it on!:dogsm2: |
Sully does the treadmill Val (PassionFruition) posted a cute video of Sully exercising on a treadmill. He has a very cute work-out suit too. |
hahahahahaha, i put my boys on it once... and as soon as it made a funky noise they were gone like little rockets. it was quite hilarious, and my 2 are lazy chubbos so i doubt they'll go for any form of exercise! |
i tried to put lexi on mine, turned around, next thing you know, she was gone...on the floor upside down,,, i guess i had it to fast huh? she didnt know what hit her.. |
Wow! That is great! I wish I could get Mojo on my treadmill......does anyone of any tips??? My treadmill seems awfully loud too though, that could be the problem, but I would live some tips and tricks on training him to walk w/ me! |
i dont own one but if i did i would deff put my boys on one ! |
I have one....I'm planning on turning it from a clothes hanger to a working treadmill....LOL I have to get myself going on one before getting the babies on a workout schedule....LOLOL |

I have tried using the treadmill with Gracie but she just sits there trying to dig her nails into the belt. She won't try to walk. I have started it at 1/2 mph, as slow as it goes. Any suggestions? |
how cute i dont own a treadmill dont think gracie would be to fond of it either |
I actually LOVE my treadmill! I kind of loose track of time when I am on it and it is relaxing to me.........well, it is pretty much the only "me" time I get anymore. Right now, it is folded up because we had to do some rearranging for our holiday decorations and tree, etc. I can't wait until it gets put back up! I have one of those that can fold almost flat and rolled away somewhere, so it is good for when I need to move it around --- course, I leave it out all the time though (except for now and I am in desperate need of it)!!! Mojo will lay on the couch or bed (whichever room I have it in at the time) and watch me - he doesn't like it much because that dang thing is LOUD! --- I think it is about to quit on me because I think it is much louder now then it ever was!!!! YIKES! |
I'm SO glad you started this post cause I was just signing on to ask the same question. My Cooper is 6 months and a bundle of PURE ENERGY!!! Since its so cold here I was thinking of trying him on the treadmill and now since I've read the posts I'm definately gonna give it a try. I just dont know what else to do with him in the puppy stage....hoping with more exercise he will lay off the biting/scratching etc a little.....hubby is getting a little fed up and so is the wall in his room. Time to go back to crating a little more I guess....any other suggestions? :) |
My husband loves to put Scout on the treadmill at my parents house. She's up to 5.5 mph now! :p She really enjoys it since she knows she gets a treat after. It's a great way to burn off some of that puppy energy. |
WHAT THE! How do you guys get them to walk on the treadmill?? I heard about this once and I tried w/ Stanley, but he ran off of there as soon as my hands were off of him! |
If I had a treadmill, it'd be pretty funny to see my two girls on there with me:laugh: Of course, I can barely walk on one without tripping over my own feet, so they'd have to use it without me:o Maybe those that want to try that with their pups can use the leash at first, until they have the hang of it? |
One of the first videos I saw on YT, was a dog on a treadmill. I can't remember the owners name, but I think the dogs name was Maddie. I laughed till I almost cried watching that video! |
When my treadmill gets here I'll definitly try walking Rocky on it! I never thought of this, but it's a great idea. When my mom goes on the treadmill, Gizmo the 70lb boxer tries to get on it too and always falls off. Once he got on, fell and slid to the bottom, hitting his head on it, and right away he got up and tried again! |
We keep her on leash as if we were taking her for a "real" walk. She even holds her leash in her mouth once in awhile so that she can run faster! |
