No, the dog might not understand what is going and get really frightened. I think walking outside is better for the dog, and good for the owner.  |

No, I think that if you have a pet....that pet is your responsiblity. YOu should walk the dog, don't buy a treadmill. Man, humans are lazy these days! :-p  |

Hahaha, I wouldn't get one for my dog. Then she'll miss the joy of seeing outside, eating snow, running when she wants, playing, spending time with me. I love my dog. She is kinda chunky though. But she's in great condition for being 10. She was starting to look like a sausage with legs... so I put her on a wee diet. LOL!   |

Oh, WOW! You have touched on a really tender spot with me! I am SO against treadmills for dogs. But, I am also against keeping them in the cages that people are putting their dogs into during the day when they are at work!!! I have a friend, actually it is a couple, who have 4 spitz and those dogs stays in their travel kennels (cages) anytime the couple is away from home, and they both work long hours. I heard that people in Europe think it is hilarious and ridiculous that Americans keep their pet dogs in cages. Do people really think that a dog would just sit down and quit walking on a treadmill if their heart rate went up too high? Or if their muscles were sore? Dogs do not do that! They will keep going to please their masters until they drop dead on the spot. As for CAGING your dog so it does not roam around your house while you are gone.......if you can't trust/allow your pet the freedom of your home, or you cannot take the time and effort to train your dog, then don't get a pet!!! It is NOT a mindless, inanimate object to be put in the closet or on a shelf when you do not feel like or are unable to play with it!! Get a stuffed dog if you cannot fulfill your responsibilies as a compassionate loving owner!! Love and Light  |

no I dont think its right either but people who have greyhounds that I know use the treadmills to exercise their racing dogs as well as walking them on the roads!  |

UM.......NO! I agree with most here in that if you take on the responsability then you should keep up with it... you mother asked if you would walk it, feed it, and clean up after it for a reason... If you only want the dog so you have some thing that will love you unconditionaly and have something to pet, get a stuffed animal or take the real dog for a real walk...  |

a dog needs to run.. you dog needs more exersize then just being walked twice a day.. i dont think it's good to strap a dog to a tredmill and exersize them that way.. they need more then just walking/running straight they need to move around  |

I would rather take a dog on walks outside than using a treadmil. That's kind of crazy.  |
