The first walk back from the kennel is always a mess. They don't make him heel on his walks out there. Plus, I am trying to keep from getting any more sick than I already am. AND a crazy dog came along and I haven't walked Miner in a week and a half and so I am out of practice with remaining calm. So, Miner got a little crazy, too. AND it was cold...so our walk was only a 1/2 mile.
But, I did begin my treadmill experiment with him. I know I can't get him on the treadmill with a leash if he hasn't had a little bit of a walk first. So I tried after our short walk. He did really well. Not for a real long time, but at least 5 minutes. This was accompanied by a lot of praise and treats afterwards. He'll do just about anything if he knows treats are coming afterwards.
