| Re: Treadmill?
His behavior and his need for training can't be separated, they are interrelated.
While it does help to take the "edge" off, it sounds to me like you worked him beyond that. A dog that's TOO exhausted isn't going to be any more responsive to training than a dog that goes out the door snorting fire from their belly.
So, moderation. In duration and in speed I'd think, both for his joints (he's very young!), and for his mindset. I don't use a treadmill, so I don't know for sure, but it seems some stretching exercises might be a good idea before putting him on it. |
