5 Ways To Keep Your Dog Exercised & Stimulated This Winter

December 1, 2010 By Jodie L

Cute Puppy 5 Ways To Keep Your Dog Exercised & Stimulated This Winter. When it is snowing or raining outside, it can be difficult to muster up the motivation to take your dog or puppy out for a well deserved walk. Your pet may feel the same as you, cowering away from the front door as the cold weather snaps at his or her face.

If your pooch has gone into ‘hibernation mode’, he may sleep most of the day as well as through the night. If this continues, your dogs vitality and energy could decrease over time, leading to health problems such as weight gain and lack of muscle tone.

Much the same as humans need exercise and variety for well being, and for the release of Serotonin, dogs are the same. Exercise is just as important to a dog as food, water and sleep. Without it, your dog will most likely start to display depressive symptoms.

Following is a great list of activities that you and your pet/s can enjoy when the weather outside is terrible. Not all of them will get your dog tired out physically, but they will provide the stimulation needed to occupy a dogs mind, tiring him out mentally.

1. Simple game of fetch. If your home is something larger than a flat, or if you have a long hallway or landing, then your dog will love to play fetch inside as much as outside. You can use cheap tennis balls or this, especially if you want the ball to bounce for an added challenge for your dog.

Reward your dog with a small treat from time to time when he brings the ball back to you and drops it for you to throw again. Never take a toy or ball from your pets mouth as this will encourage a tug game on his terms. Instead, teach your dog to leave the toy on the floor, and reward with praise or his favourite food.

2.Tug. Buy some strong tug toys or ropes, and use them to play a simple game of tug. Only play it on your terms. If your dog starts to play too rough, stop the game and try again later. Train your dog to obey a release command, and reward with a treat or praise. You don’t have to over feed your dog here, most of the time excitable praise will be all your dog wants.

3. Hide and seek. If your dog is well behaved, and listens to commands well, this will be very enjoyable. Ask your dog to come to a particular room, for example the kitchen. Ask him to sit and stay. Go and hide in a place of choice, not too concealed to begin with. With an excitable voice, ask your dog to ‘find me’!! When he finds you, make a fuss of him and give him a treat. Repeat, make it harder each time.

4.Train your pooch to use dog agility equipment. You can get some really cool agility products now. There are tunnels, hoops for jumping, see-saws and more. If you have a spare room such as a room you use as a gym or a clear garage, then this would be the perfect spot.

5. If you are short on time, then the best investment would be in a dog treadmill. Dog treadmills are different to human treadmills as they are smaller and have safety features that are specific for pets. They also look much better, and most are fold away and compact.

If you know that your dog loves to run, then this is perfect for you. Here are the links to the best priced treadmills for dogs in the UK, US & Canada.

Hibernation Season Survival | Invest In A Dog Treadmill For Your Pooch

November 17, 2010 By Jodie L

Dog treadmills ideal for Winter. When I mention to friends and colleagues that I am passionate about dog exercise and dog agility training for a happy well balanced dog, they agree with me that ‘a tired dog is a happy dog’. When I tell them that you actually get a treadmill designed specifically for dogs to give them the added exercise that they need, they are always intrigued.

>>>>Learn more about Petzen Dog Treadmills here

Here is a great article that I found from a fitness expert who loves pets!

“Did You Know You Could Get A Dog Treadmill?

Your dog has to be taken out and exercised every day. It’s important to your dog’s health that they get plenty of exercise. Most dog owners have no idea that you can buy a dog treadmill to help your beloved pooch get the workout they need.

Who Needs A Dog Treadmill?

Dogs need exercise every day, and the more the better. Of course, your dog should get plenty of sunshine, and you should always take them outside to run around. But, a dog treadmill can be used as an additional tool that makes exercising your dog convenient and easy. There’s no such thing as too much exercise to keep your dog healthy. [Read more...]

Dog Treadmills VS Human Treadmills For Dog Walker Solution

October 11, 2010 By Jodie L

Why are Dog Treadmills better than human treadmills for pets? I often see videos on Youtube and other places with dogs running on human treadmills, either alone or with their owner. Two frequently asked question about dog walker treadmills are “why does a dog need one instead of a regular human treadmill?”, and “why are dog treadmills more expensive in some cases that the human counterpart?”.

At Treadmill For Dogs Review, we listen to your questions and enjoy answering them. To this end, here is the professional opinion about what is so great about pet treadmills, and why it can be dangerous to allow your pooch to run on the human tread mill. We have also sourced a great Q & A from a forum in Australia between two dog lovers:

From JogaDog USA:

“Can my dog use a regular/human treadmill?
There are many things to consider before running a dog on a treadmill designed specifically with the human in mind. Keep in mind, humans have a shorter gait than most dogs and thus require a shorter treadmill. Other reasons to be cautious in using a human treadmill for your dog are stability and comfort. An unstable treadmill will be uncomfortable for a dog to use, since it amplifies the feeling of falling. The JOG A DOG uni-body construction provides a solid, sturdy and secure foundation for the dog’s jogging surface. Many human treadmills offer shock-absorbent platforms that are more suitable for humans than dogs. Other factors to consider are treadmill durability, tread comfort and side enclosures to keep the dog focused and centered on the treadmill.

Additional note: A large number of our customers have told us they tried a human tredmill before purchasing a JOG A DOG. Not only is it more difficult to get a dog started on a human treadmill, human treadmills are sensitive to dust (let alone piles of dog hair). If you find a human treadmill that works for you, be certain to service your machine for dust and hair regularly! Unlike the JOG A DOG treadmill, human treadmills have exposed electronics and sensor contacts. Typically, when these sensors get dirty, the treadmill “crashes”. A treadmill crash can be dangerous, since the motor speed will respond erratically under such conditions. The JOG A DOG treadmill is maintenance free and has NO electronics at the head of the treadmill where the motor is located. All the electronics are safely placed inside the remote control that is typically mounted on the side guardrail. ” [Read more...]

Why Cesar Millan Loves Dog Treadmills

September 29, 2010 By Jodie L

You may or may not have heard of Dog Trainer, or should I say Dog Tamer, Cesar Millan. Cesar’s TV program ‘The Dog Whisperer’ showcases Cesar working with dogs that have severe behavioural issues, and in some cases dogs that are on death row due to aggression or the inability to re-home them.

>>>>Learn more about Dog Treadmills here

When Cesar rehabilitates fearful or traumatised dogs, he often takes them to his rehabilitation centre to spend time with other dogs for socialisation. He also works on behaviours by presenting the doggie patient with the object/s of fear whilst running or walking him or her on a dog treadmill.

>>>>Learn more about Dog Treadmills here

The idea here is that Cesar redirects the dogs anxious behaviour with the use of exercise.

Dog treadmills are not only limited to use in doggie daycare or other services. They are now affordable enough to have in the home, and are designed to look sleek and slimline to fit in with any decor.
We all know that if we don’t exercise our dogs enough, they become stressed out or anxious due to the lack release that physical exercise provides.

If you either don’t have the time to walk your dog regularly, or if the winter weather proves too awful to go jogging around the park with your pooch in, then a pet treadmill is the answer.

>>>>Learn more about Dog Treadmills here

I found this great article about dog phsychology by Timmy Duncan – How to rehabilitate a fearful dog. Read on…

“Dealing with a fearful dog is no easy task. Whether the dog has been traumatized or merely not socialized enough, fear is a powerful force and it is not one that is easy to break. Fear can turn a sweet natured animal into a ferocious beast, growling and snarling to keep the object of the fear at a safe distance. It can also reduce your dog to a cowering, whimpering mess in a matter of seconds. There are many different stages of fear and rehabilitating fearful dogs may not always be the easiest task, but it is by no means impossible. [Read more...]

Dog health matters |Are your dogs exercise requirements being met?

September 28, 2010 By Jodie L

Dog health matters. Are your dogs exercise requirements being met? As dog owners, we want the best for our pet. If you are like me, it fills your heart with joy to see your pooch running around off lead in a park, getting exercise and playing with other dogs.

>>>>Learn more about Dog Treadmills here

Unfortunately, during the winter months, or when the weather forcast is rain, gale force winds or snow, giving your dog the exercise that he needs and deserves can be a real challenge.

For one thing, finding other dogs in the park in winter for your pooch to socialise with can be tricky. Furthermore, if you are not a fan of getting covered with muddy paws, or running after your dog and slipping on the wet ground, or simply just getting freezing cold and soaked through, then you will love dog treadmills.

Dog treadmill equipment is perfect to burn off your dogs excess energy during winter, and will also prevent your pooch from getting overweight.

>>>>Learn more about Dog Treadmills here

During winter it can be hard to get your dog motivated to go out for a walk in poor weather. On the other hand, if you make his or hers dog treadmill exercise routine really fun, rewarding him or her with praise, treats, and of course the sheer fun of getting some vigorous exercise, then your dog will love using the tread mill every day.

My dog Mia is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She is a very high energy dog, needing constant exercise and stimulation. I don’t know what I would do without the outlet of a dog exercise treadmill. If I don;t give her the exercise she needs, she gets extremely hyperactive, and unwanted behaviours creep in.

>>>>Learn more about Dog Treadmills here

If your dog is hyperactive, is a chewer, or struggles to stay still, then it is likely that he or she needs more exercise. If you invest in a treadmill for dogs, then you will reap the rewards over the span of your dogs lifetime.

Dog Health Sites & Resources

Dog Health Care – Give Your Dog A Happy, Healthy & Pain Free Life
One of the most essential steps to caring for dogs is to provide them proper nourishment and everyday health care to ensure that they are free from dog health problems.

Kibble is Processed Junk Food
I agree that a variety of foods is the best safeguard for a complete diet, for both human owners and their pets. For humans, a variety of whole, fresh foods is recommended by physicians and nutritionists. For pets, veterinarians and animal nutritionists recommend feeding a monotonous diet of a single cooked, starchy junk food.

Veterinary Health – Keep the Dog Doctor Happy!
Dogs, of course, just like humans, should have regular check-ups at the veterinary’s office. And in addition to check-ups there will, for most dog owners, be the occasional accident or illness that also requires a visit to the local Dog Doctor.

Used Dog Treadmill | ebay Protection For The Buyer

September 27, 2010 By Jodie L

If you are looking for a used dog treadmill for sale, then we should be able to help you. Dog treadmills are a costly investment, so if you would rather buy your pet treadmill second hand, we recommend ebay. Here are the links to the ebay listings in the UK and US:

>>>>Find out more about dog treadmills for sale US

>>>>Learn more about used dog treadmills UK

The reason why we recommend ebay is a simple one. Firstly, it is the safest way to buy second hand products as you are protected as a buyer if the goods that you buy are faulty or not as described. If you are unsure of whether the seller is trustworthy, you can review his or her seller ratings to see what other people have thought of the service they provided.

You will also find that the majority of ebay listings are great value for money, especially if the seller of the doggie treadmill starts the auction bidding with a low minimum bid. You could pick up a real bargain as little as 99p or $2.

In most cases be able to choose a pet treadmill that is being sold near toyou. This way you will be able to collect the treadmill without incurring hefty delivery costs.

If at the present time there are no auction only listings for dog treadmills on ebay, the do take a look at the buy now prices for new products as they are very often on special offer on ebay.

If you want to wait for a tread mill to become available in auction, then visit our site for treadmill sale updates in the future. Subscribe to our RSS feed at the top of the page to get the latest on dog treadmills for your pooch!

Used Dog Treadmill Sites & Resources

Treadmill training
I think every dog is different so there is no set in stone protocol on how to get your dog used to a treadmill. New dogs that are a bit stressed should have short sessions as due to the stress factor they tire much sooner.

Treadmill Exercise Tips: Dog Treadmill
A dog treadmill can also be used for sporting dogs as well. They are perfect to use when the weather outside is not ideal. Almost any type of sporting event pet can benefit from a dog treadmill.

How to teach your dog to use a treadmill
I would put the dog on treadmill whilst it is not on, then start it slowly and hold him on a leash in place. Run or walk along side your dog to get him used to it.

Dog Exercise Treadmill | A Tired Dog Is A Happy Dog!

September 23, 2010 By Jodie L

Dog exercise treadmill; a tired dog is a happy dog! If you are a dog lover like me, then you will know that what your pet needs just as much as food and water is exercise. Dog exercise equipment is often the best and most cost effective way to do this, especially if you can’t walk your dog or give him/her a run off lead as much as you would like.

Lets face it, modern life is extremely busy. When I had the joy of owning my first dog I wanted to take her to all of the puppy and dog training classes. You may have thought similarly – Dog Agility classes, Flyball training, ‘teaching your dog new tricks’ classes and more. Does this resonate with you?

The truth is that I just simply didn’t have the time or money to dedicate myself to weekly dog classes with my pooch. Not to knock Dog Trainers – they offer valuable services and make the training really fun for you and your pet.

I decided instead to look at buying a dog exercise treadmill after watching Cesar Millan using them regularly on his TV show ‘The Dog Whisperer’.

To be honest, buying my dog treadmill has been a bit of a life-saver. I love walking my Staffordshire Bull Terrier, but if you know anything about this type of breed, you will realise that they need alot of exercise to tire them out and to prevent unwanted behaviours like hyperactivity and digging in the garden!

If you feel that your dog could benefit from a good run on a daily basis, or if your pet has a disability or needs gentle rehabilitation, then a doggie treadmill will be a great tool.

We have a range of Dog Treadmills on this site to show you just what you can get. I thoroughly recommend the Dog Treadmill that I use – the ‘Dog Jogger’, available in the UK is sizes small, medium and large. And in the US and Canada, our favourite tried and tested model is the Pet Run Treadmill range. See the links below:

Dog exercise is extremely important for your pooches daily needs. Sometimes when the weather is terrible outside, it can be hard to get your pet to go on his daily walk. This is when a dog exercise treadmill comes into play.

You may or may not have seen TV show The Dog Whisperer’s Cesar Millan using Dog Treadmills to exercise his doggie clients. He uses them in rehabilitation settings, usually to work out the dogs pent up energy due to lack of exercise or stress. It sometimes takes the dog a couple of tries to get used to walking and running on the tread mill, but you soon see just how much they love it.

In the UK, we have chosen the Dog Jogger range to be the best value for money. Dog Jogger pride themselves on safety for your pet, as well as offering a wide range of speed settings and incline settings to give your pooch a variety when he exercises.

In the US & Canada, there is a much wider choice. The dog exercise tredmill that ticks all of the boxes for us is the Pet Run range.

Pet Runs have the lowest running platform offered on dog treadmills. This means that your pet will find the transition from floor to mill really easy, and won’t feel to far away from the floor. They are extremely slick and compact in design, so are easy to fold and store away if you wish. Pet Runs also, thank goodness, have a silent driving motor, so you won’t be disturbed whilst your dog exercises.

Just take a look at how much this Corgi is enjoying his run – his tail’s up in the air, and he looks so happy it makes me smile! You will of course agree with me that your dog deserves the best!

Additional Dog Exercise Treadmill Tips

Before you exercise your pooch, it is a good idea to make sure that he is well hydrated, and that he has not had food for at least an hour. Better still, try giving his exercise using the dog treadmill before he has his breakfast or dinner. That way, he will work up a good appetite and will have worked for his food much like dogs in the wild would.

If your dog is new to a dog treadmill, use his favourite snacks or toys to keep him motivated. Praise and excitement also works wonders!
