Dog gets caught cheating during workout (VIDEO)

Comments on this Article

This poor dog is not "cheating." The treadmill speed is set much too fast!!!! If the treadmill is set at a reasonable speed, the dog will be able to keep up and get exercise without risking a stroke.

pace is toooo fast! poor doggy!

Relax, people. Sure, walks are best, but it's not always possible or appropriate to take a long walk outside. A treadmill is a good alternative, as long as you're there to monitor, as this owner clearly is. Easy on the judgements, y'all!

Cheryl - We live in the Northeast and my dog wants nothing to do with the outside when it is30 degrees or below, plus the salt is brutal on her feet. Yes she has booties but they don't always stay on. So, we have a treadmill that she uses in the winter. I find it perfectly acceptable for her exercise in the summer. They're also great for a dog who is high energy. My best friend's Rottie (after his 5 mile daily walk) would stand on the treadmill and bark for it to be turned on.

Not so sure I'm up with allowing a dog on a treadmill. They're meant for people for a reason: animals don't understand how they work and can't hit the 'stop' button. Nothing can replace a real walk. Sorry, I'm not so impressed with this one...

LAZY owner too lazy to walk your dog instead you put him on a TOO FAST PACE treadmill where he could hurt himself he is not cheating it is too fast to keep up that pace!.....try slowing it down so he can keep a slow steady pace or else try taking him outside and throwing a ball for him to play..............!!!!!

You guys are awesome, thank you! :-)

Could you guys change your tags? That is a SHELTIE (Shetland Sheepdog) NOT a COLLIE!

Hilarious & adorable :-)

This is a hilarious video all in good fun. As long as it is not to hot because shelties have thick hair. There is still no substitute for a walk outside, dogs need to socialize.
