Treadmill Training Follow-Up

About a month ago, Aliy posted a story about treadmill training for the dogs. I was finally able to get the video she shot off her camera, and I think you’ll find it very interesting. There wasn’t much dialogue and the background noise is pretty loud, so I’ve laid in … Read More
