Just a Golden being a Golden. Most human dog you can have. He sees you on the treadmill, he’s going to try it for himself first chance he gets.

digging for whatever, Max would shoulder me out of the way and dig to her hearts content. Max made life easy.

I have a friend who has a cocker spaniel named Lily who excercises on a treadmill every day after her mom gets off of it. Joann says “Lily, get on your walk!” Lily jumps on and does 20 minutes. We have 3 feet of snow here now...Lily couldn’t get much walking outside even if she wanted to.

I have working dogs and do lots of training. Retrieves, bite work, etc. 20 minutes on the treadmill before we start helps lower their energy a bit so they focus better. Taking them on a run is counter productive because they start hunting and become stimulated.

The treadmill is good, but that dog should have been supervised
