Starting them off young> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP4MgE6EmJE I love the Rocky theme music LOL

 

How long should a dog be able to trot on an electric mill I'm used to a huffy and some old nikes

 

Trot? I've gotten them trotting up to 2.5 hours. At a 4mph clip.

 

Yeah only way I can describe it sorta like a horse not full run but not walking similar to jogging I suppose we'll my problem the tracks moving under so if he slows to the back I dunno if he's tired or lazy when he runs next to the bike he never seems to tire to much or want to stop except for the occasion when he completely stops to piss on a tree and I'm left almost flipping the handle bars

 

I like trot the best!! Endurance!!

 

I think the word you're looking for is canter, above a trot but not a full gallop

 

Gotcha I'm looking it up as I type there's steady state then tempo state running
Only difference seems to me is the duration they run the given amount of miles at a certain time but I'll set up a tymer and start trying it that way

 

Canter sounds better!!!

 

CANTERLINE??? I prefer the TROT...

 

Why not jog then or swift walk

 

To use horse terms, a jog is the slowest speed of the trot just above a walk. The lope is the slowest speed of the canter just above a trot. For building endurance in dogs I like a trot just at the point before they break into a lope for long distances. I'll then do a lope for 25% of the exercise, bring it back down to the trot and finish with a walk for a cool down. I work mine next to the truck since they love chewing moving bicycle tires and I've ended up eating dirt more times than I'm happy with

 

Makes sense to me I'll try it out I usually just run em on a bike so the dog controls the pace but got a Emill for 20 bucks I had to mugyver it a lil but runs fine

 

Just set the speed at the fastest you can without the dog having to break into a full run. This is usually between 3-5. Then leave it there. When the dog starts to stumble or break gait yank it off. Eventually it'll be able to do 10 straight miles at that pace. Much better than hand walking.

Just make sure you empty the dog out before you put it on the mill or you're gonna get a conveyor belt of shit dumped on your floor.

 

Mental image of shit flying everywhere made me spit my coffee haha

 

Lol yeah I have it sitting in my living room so if they decided to shit I'd end up having a shit painted wall but I always walk the dogs a few miles before they goes on it

 

Bwhahahaha that was one funny visual
