OMG frznbuns - THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH for posting that video!!! I tried it - it worked like a CHARM!!! :dancing_b
My Widdy is a little over a year and so very full of energy! AMAZING amounts of energy! :help_up_2 I have been trying things for months, to burn off all that excess energy. Nothing worked well enough, no matter what I tried. I live in Ohio so getting outside time has come to a screeching halt.
I'd read about training dogs to use a treadmill but they all did it in steps, with lots of treats/praise and TIME!!! When I saw your video, I thought "what the heck, we'll give it a shot". It went SO MUCH better than I ever expected. :cool2: She is totally comfortable as long as she can feel my legs touching her. I tried, slowly moving my one leg away, but it made her nervous and she'd lose her stride. So I figure we'll take it slow and work on her being more comfortable, in time. I've had her on 3 times today (for 10 min. each) and she's not reluctant to get on! *yahooooooo*
Again, I can't thank you enough! You may have just, single handedly, saved my SANITY!!! :thanx:
Here she is on the first try..................
And this is the side effect!!!! :biggthump
