    Any one ever see one of these used to condition a dog before? I don't know how it works really lol, do you have to peddle it with your arms the whole time?

    It looks good because it can be removed after use with out a trace :P

    clever dogs suss it real quick, they just stand in the middle and wait until the lure passes their head and leap up and grab it. it may be ok with those fat little staffords but i think with an athletic dog with real prey drive IF they would run it without using their brain too much then you would struggle to keep the lure in front of him for too long, a poor substitute for a good treadmill or catmill in my opinion.

    I was wondering about that when I first saw this. Those staffs sure did like it though

    definately, any exercise is good for sure and they seem to like it, i just thought if talking serious prey driven and athletic or really clever dogs it best to mention before people waste their time building one.

    Nice the only downfall is it wouldn't work for a dog who's a smartass. They'll figure out real quick that it heads back their way and wont chase it.

    The dog wouldn't wait in the middle to catch it, if the dog doesn't move then you wouldn't move the lure.

    if the lure is still then the dog is still going to jump up and grab it.i would not swap a decent treadmill for one of these contraptions.

    you control the lure, if the dog stops you stop it if it moves u move it. It's an alternative, I have both among other things.

    i said earlier, IF a dog will run it then it is all well and good, all exercise is a bonus, i just do not think it matches up to some other equipment, i would not waste my time with one, i have seen them in action and feel there are better wayts to work a dog, at least one with high prey drive, athleticism and plenty of brain power.

    i cant imagine my dogs not catchin it whether they waited in the middle or not. i like the idea and maybe with some mods it could work but bigger more athletic dogs would catch it. still never seen it b4, kinda cool
