Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I've been wanting a treadmill for my girls. It's almost always way too hot out to exercise them properly. Any thoughts about this one?

Looks like a great way to exercise a dog when the weather is bad, or it's too hot out Very Happy I like how they can stop at will.

That's what I liked about it too. It's totally up to the dog about how fast to go.

I know I'm cheap, but I wonder if this is possible to make at home. My dad likes projects! lol.

There's a place online that sells plans for one for like, $10 or something. If you google "how to build a dog treadmill" it'll show up. I've been scouring CL for a used treadmill that's not $200 for a few months. My husband is very handy, so I'm considering having him build one.

I'm inclined to think since it isn't motorized most dogs if put on it would either just stand there or try to scoot off.

There're videos of people having to use treats to get the dog to go and then there are videos of dogs running like crazy without treats! There's one of a corgi who's running like mad!

I'll have to look up those plans on how to build one. Thanks!

I go on a different forum, and one of the other members was talking about how they had a hard time getting their dog on the treadmill at first, but after a while, they could just turn it on and she would burst into the room and jump right on it. After that, they tried her on a slate mill and she took to it really quickly.
