I've found a human treadmill to work wel. Flick used to spend an hour on it somedays, she just hopped off when she had enough. I don't have it any more as it's a lazy mans tool i got to thinking.

Hey Tanya, we've got a human treadmill and find it great as we all can use it and as you say it folds up when not in use. We bought ours from Ebay for about £200, it would retail at over £900-£1000 so well worth looking on there. I don't think you can compare each of the mill types as they each bring something different to the table. Ours has various speeds and has different inclines so you're walking/running up hill. Our dogs love it, Charlie will go and sit on it as soon as it's lowered waiting for it to be turned on.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks Leigh, the reason i was going 2 get 1 is cause having 3 dogs and the oldset being a tiny JR cross age 10, can no longer keep up on the long walks in the afternoon!!!, bless her she does try lol, and as you no Leigh i even got her a pram to push around in lol, but too many people laughed at me!!!, and i cant leave her at home because she barks very loud, and i also dont want her 2 feel left out, so i just thought i might get one for the other two. Its not a problem in the evening because she will stay at home with me while the others are out..........Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!,

I do think a human mill is a good buy as all three of the dogs can use it and both you and Sam could if you chose.........definately worth the money in my eyes.
