So it sounds ridiculous, but I'm thinking of getting one of these for Gus. Anyone use one? I know Justin (buellriderM2) does weight pulls with his pooch. Winter's coming, and I have a high energy Pit Bull Terrier that needs his exercise, and if there's a foot of snow on the ground or if it's 10 degrees outside, a treadmill looks like a good alternative. My only concern is will he actually use it, or will he freak out and run away from it?

Find a used treadmill in the local classified section, they work better are geerally powered, desogned for walking on, and ususally have some form of padding, however i know several breeders that use them(used ones) and swear by them

There are also many breeders who produce larder scale versions.
However, check your local ordinances as dog treadmills are illegal in some places.

Thanks for the responses, guys. I hadn't considered the "dog fighting paraphernalia" angle. I guess I'll just have to risk it : ) I'm planning on starting agility work with him, so I need a way to keep him in shape.
Self powered looks like the way to go.
