anybody ever use a treadmill to exercise your dogs when you can't go hunting? had a buddy bring this idea up to me the other day says hes gonna start exercising his bull dogs to keep them in shape. I'm thinking bout exercising all my dogs this way, cause when I have my kids I can't hunt because of my exwife declaring it inhumane and unsafe for me to take my son with me and threatening me with lawyers and that whole mess. So gotta do something to keep these dogs conditioned.

Dangle a dog biscuit in front of him like on the cartoons or like the little boy on "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" did on the ant.......... That was a throw back right there. Or just clip him to. I had a buddy that his pit would do it on his own.

They work well.  Don't own one anymore, but used to use them when conditioning a bulldog for a conformation show.  Slat mills for endurance/lean muscle.  Carpet mills are more of a anaerobic activity, builds bulk muscle quicker.

All I did is lead him up on it then point him right n stand beside him so he couldnt jump off, start slow n when he got going I clipped leash where he had enough slack to let him get to back of treadmill but not come off.

Heres a cpl pics of the emill


Here is a carpet made mill made by a friend of mine, these are the best by far, as Ive seen others in action. The workmanship and quality he puts into them surpasses the others IMO.

Looks good and Im gld that pupp took to it good.. I would suggest maybe using some side boards/walls to prevent the dog jumping off or losing concentration. Also, I would be sure to empty the dog out before the walk/run on the E-Mill (electric treadmill)  Good luck!!!
