Teach Your Dog To Run On A Treadmill The Right Way

[@DanKlein_1]

great seeing Thunder again. Love his markings and color. I don't know I will ever have a dog on a treadmill but this teaches a lot more than that like identifying when it is time to stop. Reading the dog to know when he is mentally beat versus physically beat. Also, I never stopped to look at the normal gate of a dog and how all fours are supposed to look when a dog is jogging at a comfortable gate.

Thanks for watching and for being a Fan!

I actually have one of these treadmills, a bit older model, which I have not used enough. I was about to sell it, since my 3 dogs have not been very comfortable on it, but I came across your video and I decided to give this training method a try. I also previously never used the bar that they attach to. I just used a leash that I held. Wow! What a difference! I got all three of my dogs somewhat comfortable on it at a walk right off the bat, using your method here and using the bar with a short lead attached to it overhead. I can't believe it! I will now keep my treadmill and see if I can gradually work my dogs up to being more comfortable on it and to going up to a trot! I did sessions that seemed just long enough to not overwhelm each of them - 8 minutes for my youngest dog, 3 minutes for my somewhat skittish dog (she started to pant, so I stopped) and 5 minutes for my third dog. Thank you so much! I think this should be great for mental exercise and hopefully also for conditioning, once I can work them up to trotting. I did just a slow to medium walk for their first "relearning" sessions today. My dogs are Eurohounds (sprint racing sled dogs). Awesome!

I have the Canine Athlete Slats Mill. I love it. I looked for the $50 Craigslist treadmill but couldn't find one but I did find the Slats Mill so snapped it up. I am very pleased with it. It's not motorized which I like. My Milo absolutely loves it. He jumps on and asks to be run. I posted a short video to a GSP group on Facebook and boy did the hate come out. Comments were "Lazy dog owner" , "Your torturing him" and worse. The ignorance was crazy. Thanks for sharing quality content.

It’s amazing to me, people think if you don’t sacrifice every spare minute of time to exercise your dog outside on a trail or in a park, you’re lazy. We have lives. We work. We have families. We have other hobbies. There are only so many hours in the day... at LEAST the dog is getting exercised. If you care enough to invest in a treadmill for them, you’re not lazy.

I have a Catahoula and am picking up a "free & working" treadmill today for him. Awesome video and big thanks for the content!

[@lolathesilverlabrador292]

Great video! I needed that! I’ve been thinking of getting a treadmill for my little miss active Lola! She needs it!

[@jonmp07]

[@michellevazquez1203]

[@StandingStoneKennels]

[@rigoffear]

"Thunder butt." "If we hook a small horse up here." 🤣 Love it.

[@marandmills5660]

Vex is such a good boyyyy

[@jhillebran]

What were some of the other dog treadmills you were looking at? This is a great treadmill for a business like yours but what are some of the other options more for an urban household?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

DogPacer looks like a good option, but we have no experience with it!

[@happytrails5342]

Good god that has to be a fortune lmao. So cool to watch his gate, great video Edit: okay at least not as bad as I was thinking. Please give me a Ruffland or Gunner kennel lmao

[@anthonysemaan4281]

Hi I have a question. So my dog has had a bird introduction and last season he retrieving birds no problem but this season he finds the bird but refuse to put it in his mouth. What should I do

[@sukhpunjabi7495]

So sweet

YAWA Question: My goal with training my GSP will be to have a running buddy. She’s only a puppy right now, so we’re staring with the basics with particular emphasis on heel, woah, and recall. I want to be consistent with my expectations of her when we’re running together (aka match my pace and heel) but sometimes on mountain trails it’s not physically possible to be side by side. How would you suggest I handle this in my training? I’m not trying to get tangled up in a leash with a dog attached running full speed up/down a mountain 😅 thank you for your help!

[@finalcountdown3210]

Not an expert, but E-Collar would be my best take

[@chadmoody1715]

Is this the "Large" size they offer?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Yes it is

[@pennyducatooutdoors4638]

Off the treadmill topic, besides force fetch any tips on how to get a dog to stop chomping a bird during a retrieve ?????

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Depends on the severity. But utilizing a frozen bird for reps can slow the crunching!

[@stephenharris2920]

YAWA QUESTION: After your female gives birth to her litter, what is your timeline to get her back into the field or back into shape? How long does it normally take for your dog to get into pre pregnancy shape? Thanks love your videos!!

[@juanitaj5248]

that's going to take up all my real estate

[@StandingStoneKennels]

It tips up on end, so not as bad. But it does require some extra room

[@NastyNoble]

Quick question; is it better to use a harness or a neck collar? To me, it seems like a harness would be better. Simply a inexperienced observation.

[@candymanAM]

Harness def better

[@cfrimm]

Boy I’d like to have 2000 laying around for one of those bad boys

[@happytrails5342]

I want a Gunner or Ruffland kennel lol

[@brahimbrk7687]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidse4486]

Why not get an assault slate treadmill made for people … I run my AcD on mine , the quality is better

[@davidse4486]

The other thing I did was training on a large wobble board, Luke is very comfortable on any surface I ask him to be on. I spent time training for confidence on unstable surfaces. Moving to a treadmill was just another behavior
