great video man.my dog freaks out every time i try...he just jumps and gets crazy......it a labrador retreiver he is 5 or 6 months old..any tips?

@MrMovieman412 Then you are pushing ahead too fast. Start slower by breaking down each step I mention in the video into more baby steps. Take your time. It may take 2 weeks for some dogs to get the hang of it so be patient. Whenever your dog "stresses out" it's him telling you that you are pushing him too hard. So think about how you can break down the stressor into 3 smaller steps or desensitize him to it. Good luck!

Have you been using a leash? Start by holding the leash then tie the leash somewhere on the treadmill. Do this for 2 weeks and he will get the idea. Anytime the dog tries to get off the leash will correct him. "Never leave your dog leashed to a treadmill unsupervised" of course! Always stay in the room and watch him so he doesn't get hurt.

My dog will only go on the treadmill with treats; I've tried to take the treats slowly away but it doesn't help. I can't keep him on it. Can you tell me how to keep them on it for more than a couple of minutes?

[TrainWalkGroom]

@max1morgan2 if your dog will walk on the treadmill for a couple of minutes with relaxed body language I would do away with treats entirely. Tie the leash to the treadmill (stay in the room for safety reasons of course), if your dog jumps off or starts struggling you can help motivate him with praise or by pulling on the leash to get him back in the right position. You must make sure to end on a positive note (when he is walking w/ relaxed body language).

@MrMovieman412

I had tried everything and then realized I just needed to scoot the treadmill into a corner and block off the sides. I stayed next to him for support but he has no problems if he knows he has to stay on. I just don't over do it because I don't want him to hate it. But seriously put something around the treadmill and he'll be fine.
