Treadmills provide numerous benefits beyond what can normally be achieved from
walking or even running a dog. For example, dog show handlers use treadmills to
perform simple gait analysis. The treadmill allows the handler to study the gait
of a dog and make corrections while the dog is in movement. The treadmill also
helps the handler find and develop the proper speed the dog should adhere to in
the ring. The handler can then reinforce the dogs natural trot by training and
developing the dog's muscles to the speed the dog should adhere to in the ring.
The Dog Trotter Pro, provides the resistance needed to develop strength and
muscle. Likewise, by altering the resistance, the dog can achieve an excellent
cardiovascular workout that is tailored to meet any exercise goal. Treadmill
exercise also provides versatility while adding consistency to any exercise
program. Along with walking your dog, playing Frisbee or fetch, the treadmill is
an additional exercise that, when added to an existing regimen, will insure your
dog uses all its muscles and is in peak physical condition. Regardless of
inclement weather,
For typical pet owners, exercise is the key ingredient to good health, good
mental agility and longevity. Additionally, it is important to understand that
most pet dogs were bred to perform daily tasks, alongside humans, such as
pulling sleds, operating equipment, herding sheep and performing rescue
operations. If a dog does not get adequate exercise (adequate may be more than
you might believe), this instinctive energy will build up and demand an outlet.
So if your dog's chewing the couch and indulging in a little excessive barking,
it may very well be that he's bored and under exercised.
