Our pitbull/dalmatian mix, Kona, loves running on her treadmill. Like many high-energy dogs, she needs PLENTY of exercise to keep her balanced and happy. She walks for an hour with her backpack every morning and then runs on her treadmill for 20-30 minutes at 4-5 mph.
Treadmills are great for supplementing walks with your dogs. They are mentally and physically challenging and are perfect for days that don't allow for a long walk (due to weather or your schedule). Of course, they shouldn't replace the walk completely, as long, structured walking is the most important way to maintain trust and respect from your dog.
