The last two days were spent looking into the possibilities of training our dogs on a treadmill. This, of course, is not instead of mushing a team of huskys across the frozen lands of Alaska! But, it might supplement our current training methods. Better yet – we can learn about individual dog physiology in relation to their performance.
As I monitored these canine athletes: their heartbeats and oxygen consumption – all I could picture was Lance Armstrong biking in a wind tunnel to train for the Tour de France.

HEY – if you guys buy a treadmill can I rent some time from you? Janece and I have discussed using a treadmill in an air-conditioned space for some light training during summer.
I really like the idea, and especially like the idea of being able to view the dog from other perspectives while s/he is running.
So what happens when they poop while running on the treadmill?? How to see Mark move very very fast?
