Great Idea...
I thought I would share this link I came accross its for dog treadmills, this type of equipment has been in use for decades most notably amongst the bulldog fraternity. Thought some of you may be interested, if used properly they can be a great conditioning tool and these certainly look better than some of the ones I have come accross which may appeal more to some

Think you´re right about that.
Some could chose that instead of the walk out, maybe because of the weather?
I just wouldn´t use it (and don´t need to as I have fields, forrests and lakes surrounding me
). Besides I love the walks and think that the right clothes will make up for the bad weather

There is a programme called Breed All About It on Animal Planet and the one that features Boxers shows a Boxer being conditioned for a show in an old fashioned type treadmill.Laura
