Duke's first time walking on the treadmill. 27 Oct 2009

We spent the first week of Duke staying with us letting him get used to the machine by getting him to climb onto it and sit, then we'd give him treats. We also let him hang around while Subi was running on it. Today I walked him onto the treadmill and started him off at a very slow speed so he could get used to the ground moving under his feet and how to deal with it, then after he got the hang of it we gradually increased his speed. He only went up to 3mph today but its more about the mental concentration it takes for him to stay on the treadmill than the physical effort. Once he's really into it, we will get him running.
