While the dog in the video below seems to be enjoying his treadmill workout, not all dogs have the same attitude towards it. Here’s how you can improve your dog’s treadmill workouts and make them something your pet enjoys.
Treadmill workouts can be great for dogs, but only if they’re done right. Here are a few tips to make sure your dog has a good experience:
- Start slow and short. Don’t try to push your dog too hard too fast. Start with a slow speed and short session, and gradually increase both as your dog gets used to it.
- Make it an enjoyable experience. Add some toys or treats to the treadmill to make it more fun for your dog.
- Be patient. Some dogs may never take to the treadmill, no matter how well you train them.
If that’s the case, don’t force it. There are plenty of other ways to exercise your dog. Learn more here at PetFitness!
