How can a slatmill help my business ❓ 🐕 Training/Board & Train Edition 🐕 Slatmills are being utilized in training facilities to not only meet a dog's exercise requirements, but to also boost confidence❗ Mastering the slatmill can be a really big deal for some dogs. As their confidence grows on the slatmill, they feel more confident and capable in other areas of their lives. But aside from boosting confidence, slatmills also get used regularly to help drain excess energy. Oftentimes, dogs develop behavioural issues due to being under stimulated both mentally and physically. Slatmills are a great tool to drain energy, which will help develop a baseline of behaviour before starting a behaviour modification program. . . . #doglife #dogsport #madeincanada #fyp #k9life #malinois #canadianmade #exercise #caninefitness #dogs #canadian #dogtraining #slatmill #workingdogs #smallbusiness #doglover #doggydaycare #doggydaycarelife #obedience #k9

🇨🇦 Renegade K9 manufactures Canada's finest canine treadmills. 🇨🇦 Features: • Fully anodized aluminum frame - Durable, light weight, easy to clean and will not rust. • Impact resistant sideboards. • Removable/Adjustable sideboards for easy cleaning and storage. • 4-way micro-adjustable harness hook-up to ensure your dog remains within the "safe running zone". • Shipping is available across North America. • Wooden and composite slats are available. Why choose a slatmill? • Slatmills are free spinning and powered by the dog. This means that the dog can run as fast as it wants, slow down when it wants and come to a complete stop when it wants to all on its own. This helps to achieve a higher level of fitness and physical conditioning than a walk around the neighbourhood, or even running on an electric treadmill. Slatmills are a "no excuse" exercise alternative for your dog when life gets hectic, the weather becomes challenging, if you and/or your dog don't enjoy crowded dog parks, or if you have physical limitations. No matter what life throws at you, you can always ensure your dog gets the physical exercise it requires with a slatmill. . . . #doglife #workingdogs #videooftheday #dutchshepherd #runyourdognotyourmouth #smallbusiness #malinois #fyp #obedience #canadianmade #k9 #dogtraining #germanshepherd #madeincanada #doglover #caninefitness #canadian #exercise #k9life #slatmill #dogs #fitness #dogsport #workingdog #adba #fitnessmotivation #fitforduty #k9unit #slatmilldog #dogsports #dogsofinstagram

✖️Myth #3✖️ Only lazy dog owners use a slatmill. ✔️Truth✔️ This myth makes a lot of assumptions about dog owners as well as the dogs that utilize slatmills. I personally think that this myth, more often than not, is nothing more than an inflammatory comment that is made by people who simply aren't educated on slatmills, or the use of slatmills. This myth completely forgets about the working K9's and sporting dogs who need to be in peak physical condition in order to work long hours, or place well in competitions. It is important to remember that for these dogs, being in peak condition mitigates the risk of injury. You would never see an out-of-shape athlete competing in the Olympics. They would not be able to keep up with their competitors and they could very easily injure themselves by pushing themselves past their limit. While these injuries could be minor, they could also easily be career-ending. The same idea applies to our sport and working dogs. This myth also ignores the fact that oftentimes, people have dogs whose energy levels far exceed their own. This can be due to physical limitations, hectic work schedules, or unexpected life events. I remember being injured in a car accident. During that time, I had limitations on how much physical activity I could participate in and quite frankly, my Malinois did not care one bit. He still wanted and needed to be trained and exercised. The slatmill became my dog and I's best friend. He did not have to go without just because I couldn't keep up with him. Furthermore, this myth ignores situations such as extreme weather. In many places in Canada and the US, we experience weather where it's either too hot or too cold to safely exercise our dogs outdoors, but that doesn't mean that our dogs simply don't need exercise during that time. Slatmills provide us with the opportunity to give our dogs exercise in a climate controlled space when it's unsafe to exercise outdoors. If you've ever held the b

✖️Myth #2✖️ Slatmills are dog fighting tools ✔️Truth✔️ The truth is that animal treadmills have a long and rich history starting as early as the 16th century. These early treadmills were used by horses, goats, sheep and dogs. They operated butter churns, grind stones, fanning mills, corn Shelley's and cream separators. Today, they are used by a wide range of dogs. Police K9's utilize slatmills regularly to ensure that they remain fit for work. Sporting dogs use slatmills to increase their speed, endurance and overall conditioning for competition. Training and daycare facilities use slatmills so provide a more rigorous exercise option for their customers. Slatmills even have a place in the modern pet home; hectic work schedules, city life and extreme weather can make it difficult to give your dog the exercise and freedom to run full-tilt that they desire. #slatmill #caninefitness #smallbusiness #canadianmade #dogsport

✖️Myth #1 "You're forcing the dog to run." ✔️Truth Slatmills don't work without the dog's participation. Since slatmills are free spinning, it requires movement from the dog for the belt to turn. They are manual treadmills, meaning there is no motor or computer controlling how fast the belt is turning. This is done solely by the dog. This means that the dog is in total control when they're using a slatmill. If the dog doesn't move, the belt doesn't turn. Similarly, the dog gets to choose the pace that they move. They can start, stop, walk, run and everything in between all on their own. It is quite literally impossible to force a dog to run on a slatmill. If they don't want to run, they simply won't move and subsequently, the belt on the mill will remain stationary. Let's face it, dogs love to run and oftentimes it can be difficult to keep up with the energy levels of our dogs. It can also be difficult to find areas to let your dog run off leash. Some dogs aren't social butterflies and don't enjoy dog parks. Most cities have leash laws preventing dogs from running off leash on trails. Weather can make it difficult or impossible to exercise your dog outside whether it's too hot or too cold. Even hectic work schedules can make it difficult to give your dog the exercise that they require.
