| My small(60 lbs) American Bulldog likes to run on the treadmill. They make treadmills specifically for dogs, but a small enough dog can run on a human treadmill. My Rottie's stride is too long for my treadmill. If you try this always stand beside the mill and hold the dog on a leash - my girl would get distracted if the other dogs barked, or a cat ran by, and try to stop or turn around. In that situation, if I wasn't holding the leash she would have gotten tossed off the back by the moving belt. Not an ideal way of exercising, but we did it when the temp was 20 below and the young dog really needed some kind of exercise. |
