I exercise your dog for 30 minutes in a modified vehicle using a 'best in class' (motorless) treadmill designed specifically for dogs. You only need to do this once or twice a week max to fulfill your canine fitness needs complimenting your usual daily walks. Dogs have hit speeds of over 30 mph and cover 4 miles in less than 20 mins, so imagine having all that available to you but you are tethered
to a human doing 4 mph, even when you let a dog off the lead they will run for a bit then get a scent of something and stop to sniff, walking for a dog is more of a social thing and not proper exercise, bit like a human at a funfair going from one thing to the next, compared to a human working out in a gym for an hour. List of benefits:
Helps with more common behaviour problems such as digging, excessive barking, chewing, whimpering and hyperactivity
The treadmill is set at a slight incline to strengthen the back legs and hip ligaments which is a problem as dogs age, you will hear people say 'the back legs are going'
Keeps dogs healthy, agile and limber
Assists with digestive problems and constipation
Builds confidence and trust in timid or fearful dogs
Dogs feel content, rather than restless
Helps dogs rebuild muscle after an injury in a controlled environment
Fit dogs tend to live longer
low-impact exercise for:
dogs with arthritis
geriatric dogs
dogs with neurological diseases
