Teach Your Dog To Run On A Treadmill

Welcome to Standing Stone Kennels! In this video we teach Harley how to run on a treadmill, and show you what a dog looks like after they master the treadmill with Nix. Teaching your dog to run on the treadmill is easy, but it is important to always remember safety first. Never leave your dog unattended on the treadmill, and always stay by their side.

excellent video. hats of to you for showing us a dog who is doing this for the first time.

Just watched this and never thought of the treadmill as an option. I have a very busy life. Nearest park is 7 miles.away. and it's full of trash. The treadmill serves as an option to save 20min driving time and use it for training. Or play time. It would help us keep that energy low on super busy days. My Vizsla picked it up in the first 2 min. Run on speed 2.5 for 15 min first time. I think she loves it.

I love your videos because you show real dog training and how firm you need to be when dogs are doing their avoidance behavior. Rewatched this video because I am picking up a treadmill on craigslist tonight to use when it hits 100-115 this summer. Nix is my dog's uncle! I love this line

I live in the city and I have a large yard for a city and I also have 2 Australian shepherds which are farm/ranch dogs who need LOTS of exercise, they are crated during the 7-8 hours I’m not home and the 7-8 hours I sleep which builds up so much energy in them. During the summer they won’t need to be crated as I’ll be home and they need to get there energy out, we go on walks, play fetch, work on training, go to dog parks and even visit my grandparents farm and let them run off leash occasionally. I just needed something else as they both supposedly need to loose 10-15 pounds. So I used the treadmill today!! I only worked with my one dog today and we got up to 3.5 miles and did that for 5 mins. I’m gonna get a tug rope too for more ways of exercise. I also didn’t use a choke collar or anything like that.. I used her regular collar and I stood over her and held it just to direct her on where she needed to go and she didn’t really need it she did great.

That's awesome!

Thank you thank you, very helpful! I have two Aussies that have the energy we humans only wish to obtain! With that said and very true, I have PsA and have been often bed ridden due to medication sickness and severe flare ups... hence I’m a horrible pet parent currently. My first and oldest is a mini, she’s currently obese 😭 I’m training myself to be a better parent which requires me to exercise her and myself. When she was a pup she refused most dog foods (price/quality/product didn’t matter) so feeding her anything became priority... that and guilt of being sick escalated over feeding of bones 🤦🏻‍♀️ Ppl don’t do it! It’s tempting to want to feed them what you’re eating but unless you have real chicken and veggies and know how much per dog to feed... don’t give them scraps! Too help my mini socialize and feel secure when I’m at work, I rescued a standard Aussie, male and approximately 2yrs old with an outrageous amount of energy and stamina that I don’t want him to lose so the treadmill on top of play and walking is my major focus with both fur babies. I’ve been looking online for a treadmill for myself but priority is for my dogs so I was curious how long the floor mat should be? Tula’s a good sized mini (not just in width/fat but height and length), Granger of course is healthy in weight, taller than his sis and much longer so some of the great compact options for treadmills seem to lack in length for walk/running strides so yours is a perfect ex of what to look for. I’d hate to get a compact one if it’s dangerous for his use. Tula isn’t a problem fitting to but he’s very lengthy. I’m glad you don’t use treats/food motivation, as from experience, they’ll do it strictly for food and retraining without is difficult. Thanks for mentioning time (of course each dog is different) the approximate time helps to know how much to expect after introductions are over and speed is elevated over time 👍🏼 another trainer had mentioned too to look out for a dog’s gate to switch from a light walk (each side front and back leg move together in unison) to a true stride (front and back leg move alternatively from another). He said to elevate the speed (slowly of course) till you can see them change that gate/stride as it’s their natural gate for running and speed walking. Anyways thanks for sharing

Very important as you stated- do not give them affection for being afraid of it! Well done

Excited for my GSD'S treadmill to deliver this week. I work super early 4am so before work walks are not an option. By the time I get home it's too hot in the summer to go out safely. In the winter it's way too cold. Its not fair to her. This was the best option for us to keep her happy and healthy.

[@mr.turtlesun9528]

I know this is an older video, but amazing training! 👍

[@stevegrimes5105]

I had to spend 5 or 6 sessions, my dog thought that walking while stationary was weird. I used lots of energy to encourage her and teach her the right position on the tread. I have the most exciteable, energetic dog in the world and I'll need to use the treadmill when our summer temperatures are 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity.

[@danleahbouthillier5342]

Our winters up here in Canada can be brutal I use the treadmill on my English Setter she loves it

[@talithaarrand741]

Thank you so much for posting this video!

I’m trying to treadmill train my son‘s dog. He is almost 2 years old and a pitbull boxer mix. He’s full of energy and honestly I’m not struggling to control him all to it outside. I’m taking care of him for a week and want to exercise him. I was able to get him on the treadmill when it wasn’t moving but when I started moving he barks at it and wants nothing to do with getting on. Any suggestions?

[@Wesley22619]

if I taught my GSP that idk if he'd ever get off. Haha great video. ✌

[@CS-yq8hp]

I just bought a treadmill for my high energy pit thinking it’s solve all my problems. As my luck would have it she’s terrified of it. And keeping her positioned it for just 5 minutes takes just as much energy as biking with her had. It’s been a few days and we’ve made very little progress.

[@billsmith7753]

What do u guys do for heat conditioning? Like for summer time field trials? In the trials I run, they’re 30 minute runs. My male gsp burns out about half way through and really slows down hunting. What’s the best way to condition him to keep going in the summer?

[@ericlakota1847]

That is a high energy dog right their they will go any where you go

[@guyhorowitz158]

Hii!

[@tajwortham]

How frequent are the training sessions when introducing a dog to this concept? Couple times a day for 5-15 minutes? Once a day? Weekly?

[@chermac5442]

Those happy tails!!!
