treadmill training? - Page 3

I think I may try this with my dogs.

Can anyone reccomend a specific brand/model of treadmill (perhaps price as well)?

The one in the picture I posted is the EVO1 with a 60 inch deck- It was $2,400 but it was a floor model so we got it on sale for $1,600 from a local sporting goods store.  Worth every penny I wish we could have bought 2 of them.  It's very nice I like to use it for myself when I get the chance. 

If there is time issues with not beeing able to leave the house i understand, but it didn't sound like that at the beginning of the thread.

I don't have to run 30 min with my dogs to get them a good workout. I don't know your situation, but If i can't walk my dogs at my house, I drive a couple of miles, and then take a good walk, with dogs off leash, they cover far more ground then i do and on top of just the excersize they have a lot to investigate, a lot of mental stim that wears them out,too. If i don't have that much time, or place to go,I take the ball with me. or lay a short track. that helps, at home you can play a lot of busy games. Or you can teah them mind games, Like learning a new skill, maybe even go into the smart dog games Nina Ottoson came up with, this way you don't have to leave the house, but can keep your dog busy and enhance the intelligence, that even works with younger dogs.

I know how it is when you have to take care of a family member.. it takes a lot of time and dediation and this way it takes you away from the puppes. I hope you fnd a good solution for the situation.
