Getting a dod involves taking care of him. Your dog needs exercise and a good thing is to bring him outside in a parc or in nature. Walking is also good for you guys ! Plus, walking your dog allows to set boundaries with dicipline. You don't need these things to make your dog happy... Come on, go outside !

None of my dogs seem to understand a treadmill, so I don't see how in the world I'd get them to use one - it would take more time and effort to do so than just walking them.

Of course, my preferred method is just opening the door, let them run in the (huge) backyard we have, and play with them. In the winter, well, running and jumping through the house seems to satisfy them as well. (It helps to have wide open areas in the house to run and jump, but straight segments of long stairs work great as well (curved stairs are hard on the joints).

So technically, we don't have to let our dogs out for a walk if we don't want to - they get exercise and fun at home. But that's because there's enough open areas to play indoors, and a huge backyard to play fetch and stuff outdoors.

Great... I was spending too much money on gas taking my dog for a 'walk'...

I agree with diverguy. Dogs like walks not just because of exercise, but because they get to smell things. Dogs use their noses as we use our eyes and ears: for entertainment.

Just in case anyone gets worried, I was being vaguely sarcastic.

People that use this sort of thing to walk their dogs, should not be dog owners.

Then again, parents that use the TV and/or game console to babysit their kids, should not be parents either...

I have a degausser that looks like this, sans the blue sides.

My lab is scared sh*tless of the treadmill designed for people. You can't force her to stand on the damn thing let alone run on it while it's moving.

Wait, never mind. The rope seems to be attached to a sweater or something.

So, if the dog can't run fast enough it gets choked? Wonderful. Survival of the fittest, I guess.

He looks so happy! I'm going to use this on all my animals. It would be a great way for them to work out while I'm at work. Just like RonCo says, "Set it and forget it."

And if you want to really recoup your money, put the walker on high, put a canvas behind it and sell the splatter as avant-garde dog art to investment bankers itching to spend their multi-million dollar bonuses.

Hmmm - I actually posted "INSERT George Jetson reference" in that first post, but instead of quotes, I used the GT and LT symbols. I'd actually type the symbols, but they'd just get dumped again, huh?
