My hubby and I were talking the other night, as we watched yet another Dog Whisperer episode. We've watched the show for a long time, pretty much since it started- way before we got Tucker of course, and were wondering- Do your dogs (specifically BMD) walk successfully on a treadmill, and do they seem to like it?
Since we are in Calgary, and snow/winter is fast approaching, we were playing with the idea of investing in a treadmill for Tucker (and us!) to help get through the cold, COLD winter months ahead. Not to completely stop walking him outside, just to be able to not do it as frequently or for as long, for both of our safety. Neither of us want to be walking in -40degree weather, in a white out, on slick, ice covered roads/sidewalks.
So we thought we'd look into it and ask around, and what better place to ask then here!
Does the treadmill thing really work, or is it just edited to look like it works on the show? Do your dogs like it? How hard/easy was it to get them used to it?
Thanks for the input!
