That is funny, looks like Choppy thinks it makes a great place to lounge. 🙂

I think she definitely prefers lounging on it to using it (not that I have managed to get her to do the latter – I have hope, though!).

Ray is not allowed downstairs in our basement so no problem! 🙂

Choppy generally doesn’t like to go down in the basement (I think the open steps bother her). But if I am down there for a while (say, on the treadmill), she gets over the fear and joins me.

Our basement steps are quite steep and there is a wall a short distance away from the bottom! Ray’s default on steps is to jump to the bottom. We think that he would hit his head on the concrete wall, so we have a gate at the top!

I see you got Choppy on the treadmill. Has she walked on it yet? I have NOT given up on my resolutions yet, so I think I am doing good.

She doesn’t walk on it yet. She is very curious about it, though! And she isn’t afraid of it. She comes and lies down right next to it if I am walking on it.

That’s great. One day soon, maybe you can try getting her to walk on it.

( you can just make “resolutions-for-a-day” & not for a whole year! Works for me, sometimes! )

I think it’s easier to make life changes in the warmer weather – easier to stay motivated. Or maybe that’s just me!

Perfect Choppy, perfect use of a treadmill! I’m guessing Choppy isn’t a turnspit dog http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-best-kitchen-gadget-of-the-1600s-was-a-small-shortlegged-dog?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=atlas-page

If I have a turnspit dog he’d be my best friend and I’d spit meat every day which I’d share with my turnspit buddy 😂😜😆

Has she gone on it, even slowly?

Nope – only stopped. I think maybe this weekend when we have some time I will see if I can get her on it, even for a few seconds.

Did you check out those videos on training a dog on a treadmill? Yes, there are videos for everything!

I still have to watch some! I have yet to try it, despite it being the weekend now.

The secret is to start off really slowly. And if she balks, you walk a wide circle around the room and start again. Only a few minutes a day and build from there. Some dogs get up to a healthy trot!

I have failed to try it this weekend! I don’t know what happened, but sometime between yesterday afternoon and now, the whole weekend disappeared. I blame the warmish weather!
