Is this usual in the U.S.? DOGS ON A TREADMILL??? Do you think your dogs are not waterproof? I assure you: THEY ARE! I have never seen a more boring and unnatural activity for dogs! And I am sure, no one in Europe would come up with the idea of doing something stupid like that! Please do not tell me, this bovine 10 or 30 minute feet-moving activity shall be the alternative for the daily three-hours dog walk a puggle needs! And furthermore, normally grown dogs love walking, running in playing outside even if it is sunny, rainy, snowy or stormy! They do not care! A dog on a teadmill .... this is the abnormalste I've ever seen!
Simmer down. This was a cute RU-vid video. Did you see her yard? I'm beyond sure these dogs are happier than hell. They probably even went for a walk in the rain that day. She trained them in a cool way to walk side by side on her treadmill... I bet you're just jelly you can't train your dogs so well.
I live in Canada. I have 1 four year old puggle and we both walk on the treadmill. You see, it's cold outside. I am not to breathe in cold air because I am in my mid 70's and have lung and heart disease. My puggle has a short nose and skinny feet, hates to wear boots. The boots are to keep his feet dry, we have lots of slush here mixed with salt and some melting chemicals. Yes it's healthier to treadmill for a few months.
I think it is a good alternative. Treadmill certainly does not replace a good outdoor walk, but where I live in Canada, it can get very cold and the salt on the streets hurt my dog's paws. I wish I had a treadmill to get him to walk without being uncomfortable. Look how well behaved those dogs are. Dogs love to work and be trained. I don't see them being unhappy in this video. Chill a little bit
