Tread mill
I was talking about training my dogs on the tread mill in another post, as a way to give a little exercise if for some reason you cant get out for a walk,...I would never recommend it in place of going out for a proper walk, but there are times when its not possible
So I thought I would try and get this video right and show Kee working out, she is doing 5.5 miles an hour here
Anyone spot the other little animal looking on,.. I hadnt noticed her untill I played it back...

Lol! Doggie treadmills are used a lot in the vet world for rehab. Your cat in the background would be making a disparaging comment I reckon!

It's a great idea though, do you think my local gym will mind!

I've often wondered about getting a treadmill. I know it can become a lazy way to excercise a dog, but sometimes, as you say, you just can't give them the amount they need for one reason or another. Trouble is, I just can't afford one, even a 2nd hand one.

We were lucky with this treadmill,.. we found a place years ago that was selling new treadmills, but they were damaged so they couldnt be sold as new
The only thing wrong with this one was that the plastic caseing around the motor at the front, was smashed and in little pieces,...so I spent two days super glueing,..all the bits were there and you can hardly see the seams now
....and it was about £100 cheaper....

Your dogs must be so fit with all the lovely walks and the treadmill  there is someone that comes along the bridle path near us riding a bike with his GSD trotting along side it is lovely to see such a well behaved fit dog
