Doggie Tricks!

So ever since I got my treadmill I'd always wanted to train Baylie and Ginger to run on it like I'd seen on an episode of the Dog Whisperer. They had trained a fire house dog to run on one because they couldn't leave the station to take him on normal walks. I just figured on days where it is too hot, too rainy, too cold or when I just don't have the time to exercise them it'd be a perfect substitute! I started pretty them pretty slow where the belt was at a slow crawl so they'd begin to understand that they needed to move their legs. Baylie caught on pretty fast and I was able to bump up the speed rather quickly....Ginger however was a different story, she sprawled her legs out trying to stop the belt from moving and I thought she'd never catch on!
