Teaching your dog how to walk on the treadmill is a great way to work both their mind and body simultaneously. They have to keep walking no matter what distractions are going on around them. You can also futher challenge them by randomly changing the speed and/or incline.

Things to keep in mind:

• Make sure you limit your dog's time on the treadmill if they are under 1 year old as their joints might not be fully developed depending on your dog's breed and size.
• Take your dog potty after being on the treadmill for a minute or two. The movement might get your dog's insides moving and getting poop off the treadmill is NOT FUN!
• Prevent having a marathon runner by adjusting the speed and incline. You can also alternate between having them walk on the treadmill and then have them "place" somewhere else.
