Re: Treadmill?

You were the one that brought up the behavior related to the treadmill on this thread: [QUOTE I finally found a way to make Valentine listen to me and give me his undivided attention when we go for walks! ] The point is that your dog needs to listen to you regardless of how much exercise he has had period. He obviously needs to potty in the morning before going on a treadmill therefore he needs to listen to you at that point as well as he does after he has had some good exercise. I read your post that the reason for the inquiry about the treadmill is because you think it will increase his listening to you. As I and others have posted on this and other threads you should focus on good obedience training with your dog. You cannot rely on the treadmill as a good fix. What if your dog is injured and cannot use the treadmill? He needs to listen to you all the time.
