Techie Tuesday: JOG A DOG

Get me off this crazy thing! 

Exercising your best friend can sometimes be problematic and, boy, do they need exercise. But when there is blizzard outside, or you don't have much time, or you're plain lazy then the JOG A DOG is for you.

You may ask, "Why would anyone purchase a treadmill for their dog?" Well, here is the answer directly from their FAQs:

Treadmills provide numerous benefits beyond what can normally be achieved from walking or even running a dog. For example, dog show handlers use treadmills to perform simple gait analysis. The treadmill allows the handler to study the gait of a dog and make corrections while the dog is in movement. The treadmill also helps the handler find and develop the proper speed the dog should adhere to in the ring. The handler can then reinforce the dogs natural trot by training and developing the dog's muscles to the speed the dog should adhere to in the ring.

The incline of the JOG A DOG treadmill, provides the resistance needed to develop strength and muscle. Likewise, by altering the resistance, the dog can achieve an excellent cardiovascular workout that is tailored to meet any exercise goal. Treadmill exercise also provides versatility while adding consistency to any exercise program. Along with walking your dog, playing Frisbee or fetch, the treadmill is an additional exercise that, when added to an existing regimen, will insure your dog uses all its muscles and is in peak physical condition. Regardless of inclement weather, (rain, sleet, mud, snow, heat, humidity, ice, hail) JOG A DOG allows you to adhere to a strict, controlled and consistent regimen that will guarantee results!
