Yes

Enough for a phone charger

@DogFitness2k can you give me info on exactly how you did the tension pullers

Where did you get the rollers

yes, u are right, poor dog

Raúl Rodríguez A neck harness would be better, but she was obviously fine with the collar. No poor dog!

hi can you show as how to build it from scratch

DogFitness2k how much for one?

DogFitness2k body harness not a choke collar they end up choking themselves and getting sick from lack of air .... use a body harness it can gently hold them and they can run easier

DogFitness2k where did u buy the carpet?

steven espinoza 3in dolly wheels were almost a perfect fit for 3in pvc pipe. Level & Screw in place at end cap of pvc then use 1/4in thread steel rod as axle. Use washers and lock nuts to secure. You can also utilize eye bolts through the rods at each end with fly nut to increase/decrease tension and level belt.

he tied her to it and put her on it

@@rewindd 😂

Do you del them?

Allow your dog to jump on it and sit etc...without working. Then, put a leash on them and hold it while they walk and run. Finally, fix your lead at the right distance and let them go! He/she will love it!!!

@@DogFitness2k It's a great idea, but the question is :How did you make the treadmill itself. You could build another one and post the video ( and get hundreds of "likes"-- if not thousands), then you can sell or donate it 😉

Read comments please. I explain the process.

@DogFitness2k cud you give me insight on how you did the tension for the mill

Make sure the carpet side is down. Osh sells a rubberized outdoor carpet you can cut to size and sewn together. Also try spraying lube (wd40 etc) underneath, carpet/vinyl coated side...keep in mind you don't want it to spin too freely.

+DogFitness2k thanks Ill try that

It cost under $150 to make, quieter, designed without the frame at the dogs heal (where their pad can hit), it was longer, and sold for $400. Overall, it was a great build, but so is the GCM. She used it 10-20 mins., once a day or until she indicated she was done. She’s almost 10 y/o now, and can still out work most dogs half her age.

Send me a video via email or link...I'll let you know based on what I see. Thanks for watching!

DogFitness2k can I send you a email?

Lowes or somewhere

Would love to see what then ends up looking like. I would love to have something like that for my older dog that needs to build muscle to support his CCL injury.

Hi I was wondering if you can do a build video of this it is one nice carpet mill or if you have any blueprints to this would be greatly appreciate

Sorry Anthony, there aren't any blueprints at this time. Each one I build differs some, same as yours might if I did provide BP. Building is fun, give it a try, you might surprise yourself.

DogFitness2k k thank you

DogFitness2k you don't forced her to go on their you let her do what she wants and give her water god dame she is thirsty

DogFitness2k why leather.... you need something softer so it doesnt wear on the skin and fur .... picture you jogging in leather with tons of hair underneath and even worse dogs dont sweat... so they cant lubracate like we do

@Ciaran Lynch Your question should be: How do you TEACH them. I know you used "learn" because of "native-language interference". Please pardon MY interference.

Gunzee you want to lure him on to it with treats

The right def./angle is most important otherwise her weight and gravity would force her to continue. Thanks for watching!

Hello Miles, Please check comments; I address a lot of questions that may help you in your build. Read through them and give it a go. If you encounter a problem send me a detailed message or post a link to a vid of the issues etc...Good luck!

Four legged walking is much faster.

Is it still home

Jordan Collado Hello, Build your mill according to your dogs length, height and stride. Then add 1ft so their feet/pads don't hit the rollers. I've since sold the CM shown in the vid so measurements aren't available. Good luck!

視V 😂

Hello Elva, I could build one but it might not be as beneficial for smaller dogs. I personally wouldn't recommend a carpet mill for any dog under 30lbs (dog shown in vid is 50lbs). Also, when considering cost, it would probably be best to buy a mechanical treadmill for the household. Best for smaller dogs to have lean muscle, they don't necessarily need strength or endurance. Same reason you wouldn't take a small dog on a 3+mile run etc...

The treadmill shown is manuel, correct. So the dog could Walk instead of run if he Choose to? I'm handicapped and can't walk them. The only exercise they get is what little walking around when they go out. I know they couldn't run like yours for very long but for just walking or a short run would it work? I'm just wondering if a small dog had enough weight to make it eork. I'm assuming you've never had a smaller dog attempt to just yours? I don't have room for a big treadmill, Ive looked at them. And the ones for dogs are 500+. that's why I was wondering if it could be as sm as 19x35 or so. Thanks Alot for getting back to me!

I have smaller dogs (Chihuahua & mini pincher) but no, they have never tried it. Biggest concern is that the dog would need to wear a harness and struggle to turn the carpet textured belt. Check out "dog trotter" they make a slate style mill for small/toy dogs. I have seen them for sale (used) on Craigslist, otherwise, they're a bit pricey. Good luck!

Elva Smith I'll be building one soon (NOT for sale), modeled after a Grand Carpet Mill "Small Dog Mill" (www.grandcarpetmill.com/smalldog.htm). It's "Recommended for dogs under 45 pounds, like Jack Russells Dachshunds Chihuahuas Pomeranians" From what I've read, people who have bought a Grand Carpet Mill for their dogs have been very happy with the quality and value. $400 shipped seems quite reasonable to me, so if you're not handy or inclined to build one yourself, you're not likely to find a better deal. Unless you find yourself up-sizing to a considerably larger dog, this should be suited for any structurally-sound small/medium dog. So why am I building one? It's a combination of "Because I can". "Sounds like fun", and "Why not". If you can't and/or don't want to... go to: www.grandcarpetmill.com/smalldog.htm

@@unconventionalhomesteading1865 did you end up making?

Read comments, it’s an old video...info is all there.

Find your nearest carpet wholesaler/warehouse and ask them what options they offer when seaming carpet together. You might find it easier/cheaper (cost wise) to have the ends permanently sewn together. In this case, your build won't need wooden ends near the rollers and perhaps one side wall that can detach to allow for easy install/removal of the belt. Note: if the carpet/belt is too tight it won't spin, measure from ends of rollers, double that amount and add 8-10in, this worked best for my application. Good luck!

I've since sold this CM but really, build should be according to your dogs size. Measure his/her H & L and just go for it! Good luck!

she's not exhausted or dehydrated. dogs will stop when they're too tired most dogs love working and running. I'm sure she gets sufficient water when she wants/needs it

+Joe this video ruined my day then and ruined my day now with your reminding of its existence. Ask your vet. Is this good for your dog's spine? The answer will be "no"!

+hfvkhnml FYI Maya was rescued from a kill shelter; she's a high energy dog that's very well trained and spoiled more then you can imagine. While we're on the subject of asking questions. Do you exercise? Perhaps you should ask yourself or Doctor if the benefits of running on a treadmill or working out in general outweigh the risk of doing nothing? Regarding Vet recommendations, everyone knows they love to take X-rays and over bill the hell out of us. Your argument is weak and your response is over dramatic.

+DogFitness2k take your dog for a walk better. Intense training is bad for dogs' spine. I trust that you do what's best for her. Good luck with everything!

+hfvkhnml please gather yourself some more knowledge cause obviously you could use some.

It's brutal I know, the pain and suffering she's enduring is too much to bare!;) Lol. She has the choice to stop working just as you - to not watch. Thanks, and happy holidays!

M Perry the dog is move it self she could stop when she want to

@1:42 she stops. She can. Are you blind or just plain dumb? She pushes the carpet. That’s how it works.

8scatterbrain8 looks are deceiving

DogFitness2k just the neck collar actually, the treadmill itself looks cool! thinking about building one for my dog as well

8scatterbrain8 maya was supervised testing it out, harness came after

She can stop if she wants or she can walk its not hard. Clearly you don't know how dogs work. Dogs like to be active and this is also keeping her healthy.
