border lad 1,047 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Everything in moderation, as the man said they can be used to good effect when used as part of a fitness programme, seen then used as a good cardio workout with a different type of animal the problem with any fitness training is that you need to know what your doing, its not something you make up as you go along or you could do more harm than good, you dont need to develop a fit pup anyway, pup is programmed to express him physically through play, if you watch two pups playing, running only plays a small part in the activity,,physical contact is huge and a big part in development and forming bonds, play with the mutt, its what the pup needs more than anything,,best of luck with the pup well i will say this i would not put a 6 month pup on a treadmill and dont know anyone who would it is not fully developed yet so leave the mill alone and let the pup grow and mature before you do!!!!! but anyway you asked for good advice im giving it ,, anyone who has had dogs will tell you the same . sorry casso didnt mean to post it below your input Agree 100% a pup should be allowed to be a pup, take him for country walks, around the forest, (( if possible,)) allow him to run free, while you are walking providing your are in a suitable place to do so, Quote Link to post
