Curious about what's so special about dog treadmills? Not sure how to get your dog started on a treadmill? This workshop is for you!

We will cover dog treadmills versus human treadmills, maintenance of treadmills, and how to steps to getting your dog comfortable walking and trotting. We will also go over some common trouble shooting.

This workshop should take your dog from not knowing how to do the treadmill to do workouts on the treadmill.

I have introduced many dogs to treadmills both in my fitness work and rehab work. I will use food as the main reinforcement for building the behavior.

This course does not cover carpet mills or slat mills. Working spots should have access to a treadmill to complete the homework. This course is not for dogs recovering from an injury. The dog should be cleared to use a treadmill and cleared to jump on and off treadmill height.
