First let the dog jump on and off it independently. Be sure to fix the tread itself at that time with your leg, for example. It is important to put the dog at ease.
First let the dog jump on and off it independently. Be sure to fix the tread itself at that time with your leg, for example. It is important to put the dog at ease. For example, use treats to encourage/reward good behavior. You can easily hold the dog’s collar or harness during the first steps to allow the dog to get used to the Dogmill’s operation calmly. In the beginning, be careful (stay with it) and let the dog set its own pace. It is recommended to train several times a day briefly in the early stages rather than once (too) long. Training is most effective by setting it up routinely.
Once the dog begins to walk on its own, the dog can be attached to the top of the frame and the additional safety line provided. How long a dog can walk or run on a dog walker depends on the ambient temperature, breed of dog, size and age of the dog. When it is warm, dogs become exhausted faster. Furthermore, generally larger and younger dogs will more easily sustain a long and/or intense workout. Finally, you know your own dog best. Make sure at all times that the dog uses the treadmill in an animal-friendly and safe manner.
