When the weather gets too messy for walking outdoors, take your dog's fitness inside. If your dog needs to drop a few pounds or just stay in shape for your favorite sport, drop by and get your dog started indoors on the treadmill( speed is controlled by the human ) or slatmill (speed is controlled by the dog). Most dogs love it once they learn how.
