well all you have to do is put a leash on his collar and don't tie it on a bar, just let it sit on the bar so if the dog does end up falling the leash just comes with him instead of strangling him =)
That'a not torture the dog not cowering or shows any fear or anything hes fine! I work with PETA I've seen torture give ur fuckn heads a shake!!!!!!!
Cops do that also other government places or maybe did u ever think hes giving his dog a bit more exercise for heath reasons such as swimming for arthritic reasons??? Get a life guys like really!
Treadmilling is a great way for dogs to get additional needed exercise in any weather, so long as they're allowed to get used to (and hopefully enjoy) it, set up to be comfortable and safe, and supervised.
okay people LISTEN UP. i have a husky too. they are EXTREMELY ENERGETIC and have an UNDYING DESIRE TO RUN. i make it a goal to run with mine an hour or two a day during dusk and dawn for the cooler temp. FOR THOSE OF YOU SAYING IT IS CRUEL...just because the treadmill wasnt "designed" for dogs, does not mean they are any less capable of using it as safely as we do. regardless of the species, intelligence prevails.
I run on the treadmill with my German shepherd on rainy/cold days he loves it. And when I'm busy with something and he brings me his leash to go on a walk I just put him on the treadmill and when I'm done he had a great exercise. We take a weekly trip to the dog park also, he's happy as can be. Also people underestimate how smart dogs actually are, my German shepherd jumps off the treadmill when he gets tired. He also opens gates and doors...-which is annoying, but I love mutt. -3
I don't like the idea of putting a dog on a treadmill. If you want him to get exersize, take him out yourself!!! He needs fresh air too...Plus!, what if he fell, tripped, or his leg got stuck on it, its dangerous and cruel!! Poor dog..
kudos for you excersizing your dog. huskys need to burn extra energy so a treadmill Is absolutely perfect. I think the owner understands that the treadmill doesn't replace walks, the point of this video was to show that dog enjoys it!
Sweet! How long did it take ur dog to get used to it? I've been tryin to train my dog, but she freaks out like crazy. please let me know each step on how u accomplished this !Thanks!!!!
lol how those idiots think this is animal abuse. The dogs clearly love it. If they didn't like it they would jump to the side to get off, no big deal.
It amazes me how stupid some people are. We seriously need natural selection, like in the ancient days.
I think you should remove the word "torture" on the caption of your video. Some people here would rather have dogs lead a short life for lack of exercise, just to voice out their misplaced and overzealous defense of animals ... to the point they have to interpret it as trouble even the slightest sign of stress animals experience. Exercise is stress that makes a dog strong. Treadmills are built for exercise. Hats off to your dog ... and to you for keeping your dog fit!
Oh yea this is obviously torture for the dog, look how angry he is, he got rabies all around his mouth and is barking and looks sad. Shut up,
Look at his tail easiest way to tell if any animal is happy especially dogs, dogs express there feelings by wagging their tails or having it stick up constantly, this dog couldn't be happier, and dogs aren't stupid, if he didnt want to walk on the treadmill it would simply jump off.
i have a german shepard about 9 months old and hes bigger than that dog but he wont go anywhere near the treadmill. ive never seen him have as much energy to not do something as he does when he knows we have the treadmill out..
TraumaER how is this dog weird I think u are weird for saying that I think that dog is a goodlooking dog u are proully fat and ugly and u have to put dogs down because humans aren't even in the ballpark with u u fat fucking slut keep ur comments to ur sellf u fat bitch
why dont u like just run outside with the dog, instead of biend a treadmill, its more effective if you go outside and let the dog run after the car when you have it leased to it:D
My "fat" ass hiked, with equipment, several miles thru woods and terrain yesterday. And yeah, I still use the treadmill when I can't get out because of weather. Why do you *really* think this is cruelty? Is it cruel for me to put myself on the treadmill? No. Was it cruel for me to bring the dogs with me on the hike yesterday? No. Is it really cruel that my dog begs me to start the treadmill for her, and then when she's done she steps off and comes in and licks my face? No. You moron.
Next time ask your dogs if they like being on the treadmill. I'm pretty sure if you told them to run in the street they would too. Dogs listen to their owners. Doesn't mean they like doing what their owners say. Get serious.
Completely serious. Did you not read the part where I said she begs me to put her on the treadmill? Search through videos for "dog on treadmill" and you will see several where the jumps up and down on the treadmill begging for it to be turned on. She gets on, I go over and turn it on for her, and turn it up to the pace she wants it to be, and leave her to it. When she's done, she jumps off and I go shut it off. Nobody's forcing her to do something she dislikes, thus it's not cruelty.
Well I've seen some videos on here that have the dog put on and then they speed the treadmill up trying to see how fast the dog can run or something. Maybe in your case it isn't cruelty. :)
True, that's just plain mean. Dogs are like humans, they can "jog" for long times, but "sprint" for short times. Pushing the speed to the maximum they can tolerate is plain mean. When I lived in the country, my dog used to run along side of my Jeep when I'd leave the house (over a mile before the nearest road off our property) and she could sprint up to about 25 mph, but just for a few seconds. The dog-specific treadmills are best because they aren't powered, the dog sets its own pace.
Agreed. Those old school treadmills that had a little pulley were where its at. I'd also put some padding around it so the dog doesn't snap their legs.
But yeah the ones that try to increase the speed are cruel. The dog will let its heart explode before stopping because that is all it knows.
my dog loves it! she does it for fun, and I'll find her sitting on the tredmill begging for it, and my yard is big and I take her for walks every day. It's something new and she adores it.
Yes, I'm sure the treadmill's manual was written with spry, agile canines in mind. No, of course it wasn't. It is written with the safety of some elderly person in mind, who might just happen to slip and break a hip if they tried to step off the treadmill going 1 mph.
How'd you get him to do this? Could you make a video about how to do it? I can't walk my schnauzer twice a day cause I've got a lot to do and need to cut it down to once I walk her.
No, No you all got it all wrong. See it's crew to make your dog exercise because they burn fat cells/calories. Also it causes them to build muscle and expand their cardiovascular system, very unhealthy for animals. Lastly and most importantly is friggin politically incorrect and Peta will get you!!!
They *absolutely* do. They cannot be happy without it. What is cruel are all the people who buy an active breed dog and then force the dog to remain indoors, or in a small yard where they can't get any exercise, and then allow the dog to become obese. That... that is cruelty. Letting a dog do what it loves... that is not cruelty. If I could figure out what makes dogs LOVE to exercise, and adapt it to humans, I would be a billionaire overnight.
If Cesar Milan can do it, why can't this owner.. In fact, Cesar (The Dog Whisperer) put a smaller dog on a treadmill at a faster clip... If you're complaining at this pace, you ought see The Dog Whisperer.. In you're opinion, he's much harsher.
i actually started doing this with my dog because of ceaser millan, i have a pit and even after i walk him for 45 min he needs more excercize people that think this is cruel know nothing about dogs. whats worse a pit with so much pent up energy he is likley to snap on someone or a well excercised calm submissive dogs, read a book if you think this is in anyway bad or cruel to the dog
You cruel bastard. How could you do this to this poor animal. Seriously. He's in so much pain. If that was MY dog... Okay, I can't keep this up any longer. People that think this is mean, or some sort of cruelty to animals need to lighten up and quit being so damned stupid.
Great work! Many people do not realise how much exercise high-energy dogs need. now leaving a dog on one tied to it, not a good idea, but watching and training, perfect, especially on rainy days or dogs with more stamina than you.
If you would read harrischrysler's comments, you would see that he DOES walk his dog, 3-6 miles a day, and then puts the dog on the treadmill AFTERWARD, for half an hour. Pretty responsible dog owner, IMO.
lol, 1 time i put a treat at the front, and my dog jumped off the treadmill wlaked around 2 the front and then just grabbed it out of my hand, (she was kinda fat)
At first do what he did and put a treat in your hand to get it walking...then it realises It's meant to be walking and carries on..although i don't know how you would get it off..=]
First I just walked him up onto it several times. While he was standing there I would give him some praise, no treats. Then did that with it barely moving. It took about 15-20 times in a row to get him just running right up on it. I always start slow then ease in some speed. Never used a leash, had to convince him without force that it was a good thing.
Great technique, you're right, it's rubbish to say it's wrong to let your dog run on a treadmill, I can't see any way it could harm a dog, though I would say it might be a little lonely for the dog. (Walking in a pack is everything in the dog world).
The leash can be reassuring for a dog, so don't fear using a leash to coax him on... Just try a few things and take your time, you'll find what works for you and your dog...
Try better treats, though if he won't take food, you need to take it slower and more gently, just get your dog used to being near the treadmill when it's off, then when it's running, etc until he makes the leap onto it... Take your time and be patient and it will come eventually... Let the dog take it at his own pace or you will lose his trust (especially if he refuses treats (that's bad)).
Fuck PETA. But anyways, a lot of people think treadmills are only part of dog fighting rings and are torture devices, but it's actually a sport, although the best way is to get a non motorized treadmill for the dog to go as fast or as slow as they want, you should check it out. AAPBA extreme treadmill sprint.
The Peta people said tieing your dog up with a leash on a treadmill is torture because some dumbass kept his dog on a short thing and it collapsed and started strangling itself and rubbing on the fast moving treadmill.
They basically said dont chain your dog up to the treadmill to make it run.
I think if PETA told me smoking was bad, I'd have to go somewhere else and verify that... Just sayin... What got me started was some Israeli woman on a morning t.v. show saying "never put a dog on a treadmill, with or without a leash, they are designed for people not dogs. And I would call that torture." Then I went and made this video.
I think the only "cruel" thing is when people tie their dogs leash onto the treadmill so they can't get off without pulling their collar tight against their neck. I also think it's a lot better when there are no rails blocking the sides of the treadmill like the ones made especially for dogs have because I'm pretty sure a dog's instinct would be to jump off the side when they are done instead of letting themselves be pulled backwards.
There are guide dog programs that use normal people treadmills to teach the dogs to pull in harness and it's been a great addition to these programs! The dogs are happy, there is less stress on the instructors joints, and they can work inside when the weather is bad.
Bullcrap. If the dog doesnt like it, they would get off. I am buying a treadmill for exercise and I plan on teaching my dogs to use it. Nothing wrong with it at all. A husky takes serious walking and to help me out and to wear her out more, I am going to get her on a tread. Esp my springer. No matter how long you take them for a walk they are still mad.
oh yeah, my springer is always full of energy, and we live in chicago. last night we got a foot of snow, and i cant walk him for an hour like in the spring. theres no other choice but to use our treadmill. we just need to get him used to it.
The guide dog school I went to uses treadmill training for the dogs. It's not bad at all if you go about it the right way! If you tie your dog to the treadmill and leave them there, then it's not good, but if they can jump off when they want to and you keep an eye on them so you know when they want to stop then it's fine, and a lot healthier than an obese dog!
There are some little jackoffss going around and flagging videos of dogs running on treadmills. YouTube removed mine and said it was a violation. I pulled all my videos off here after that. People can be so ridiculous.
i think it is great, provided you introduce it in the right way!! your dog obviously completely trusts the tredmill and you!! they shouldnt't be tied, just as I wouldnt ant to be tied, but i think what you have trained your dog to do is wicked!! good on you!!
Yeah. Torture. Gosh. If the dog didn't want to do it, it would get off. It's not like s/he's being forced! The dog looked really happy and relaxed with it. I love treadmills. But I'm crazy.... *0_0*
well all you have to do is put a leash on his collar and don't tie it on a bar, just let it sit on the bar so if the dog does end up falling the leash just comes with him instead of strangling him =)

Fuck PETA. But anyways, a lot of people think treadmills are only part of dog fighting rings and are torture devices, but it's actually a sport, although the best way is to get a non motorized treadmill for the dog to go as fast or as slow as they want, you should check it out. AAPBA extreme treadmill sprint.

Wrong.
The Peta people said tieing your dog up with a leash on a treadmill is torture because some dumbass kept his dog on a short thing and it collapsed and started strangling itself and rubbing on the fast moving treadmill.
They basically said dont chain your dog up to the treadmill to make it run.

I think if PETA told me smoking was bad, I'd have to go somewhere else and verify that... Just sayin... What got me started was some Israeli woman on a morning t.v. show saying "never put a dog on a treadmill, with or without a leash, they are designed for people not dogs. And I would call that torture." Then I went and made this video.

Generally Peta is right about animals. Just, only listen to what they say about hurting animals, not anything else they say.

I think the only "cruel" thing is when people tie their dogs leash onto the treadmill so they can't get off without pulling their collar tight against their neck. I also think it's a lot better when there are no rails blocking the sides of the treadmill like the ones made especially for dogs have because I'm pretty sure a dog's instinct would be to jump off the side when they are done instead of letting themselves be pulled backwards.

There are guide dog programs that use normal people treadmills to teach the dogs to pull in harness and it's been a great addition to these programs! The dogs are happy, there is less stress on the instructors joints, and they can work inside when the weather is bad.

Nice video! You obviously did a good job positively associating your dog with the treadmill. Dogs need so much exercise!

Bullcrap. If the dog doesnt like it, they would get off. I am buying a treadmill for exercise and I plan on teaching my dogs to use it. Nothing wrong with it at all. A husky takes serious walking and to help me out and to wear her out more, I am going to get her on a tread. Esp my springer. No matter how long you take them for a walk they are still mad.

oh yeah, my springer is always full of energy, and we live in chicago. last night we got a foot of snow, and i cant walk him for an hour like in the spring. theres no other choice but to use our treadmill. we just need to get him used to it.

Dogs enjoy it. If they didnt then they wouldnt use it. Tying them on is not a good idea due to strangulation. But if the dog likes it, then why not!?
classicminichelsea 4 years ago
exactly! i wish mine didnt bark when i turned it on, but his trainer is coming tomorrow to get him used to it.

The guide dog school I went to uses treadmill training for the dogs. It's not bad at all if you go about it the right way! If you tie your dog to the treadmill and leave them there, then it's not good, but if they can jump off when they want to and you keep an eye on them so you know when they want to stop then it's fine, and a lot healthier than an obese dog!

There are some little jackoffss going around and flagging videos of dogs running on treadmills. YouTube removed mine and said it was a violation. I pulled all my videos off here after that. People can be so ridiculous.

i think it is great, provided you introduce it in the right way!! your dog obviously completely trusts the tredmill and you!! they shouldnt't be tied, just as I wouldnt ant to be tied, but i think what you have trained your dog to do is wicked!! good on you!!
nicander1998 4 years ago
Yeah. Torture. Gosh. If the dog didn't want to do it, it would get off. It's not like s/he's being forced! The dog looked really happy and relaxed with it. I love treadmills. But I'm crazy.... *0_0*
