Why the treadmill?\r

First of all, its a great physical and mental exercise for them. However, the treadmill should be a supplement to the walk, and NOT a substitute. If you have a young and rambunctious dog that starts off the walk being very difficult to maintain a good heel, then I would suggest 15 minutes on the treadmill before your walk. Treadmill training can be great for nervous and/or fearful dogs. Usually these dogs have certain triggers that are followed by a thought pattern that turns like a fast wheel. The treadmill provides the perfect opportunity to break or slow down that vicious thought cycle which allows for something else to take its place. In this case the something else is just walking, therefore desensitizing the dog to whatever is triggering that nervous or fearful thought process.
