Re: Treadmill?

Most behaviour problems are at least somewhat lessened and/or made more amenable to training when a dog is well exercised (which is probably what you are seeing), so increasing his exercise will probably help. However, I don't know that a treadmill is necessarily the way to go, since dogs do not use a proper gait on a treadmill as a general rule, and the dog has no control over how fast/how long, etc. which can be harmful for a younger dog. Can you not just take him for a run every day or something like that?
