1. Damp and dirt are not good for the machine so it is important that the
treadmills are kept in dry and clean areas. If the electronic components
get wet, turn the machine off and do not turn it on again until
thoroughly dry.
2. Each new treadmill is provided with a bottle of lubricant. Turn the
machine on whilst applying the lubricant. Watch our video on the
website under owners manual.
3. With all the models insert the nozzle of the lubricant bottle between
the running belt and the running board. Use half a bottle each side of
the treadmill belt. Top up once a month or more if in heavy use,
with sewing machine oil or 3in1 oil.
4. Regularly vacuum the hair off the treadmill and keep the machine clean
and free from debris such as dog biscuit crumbs.
5. Do not soak the belt in water. Clean the treadmill using a damp cloth
and a non-abrasive cleaning agent.
6. Please make sure that you read the Terms and Conditions booklet.
Maintenance instructions
9 | Fit Fur Life - Dog Treadmills
• When rst introducing your dog always ensure that it is a positive
experience. Use a treat, biscuit or toy to make this a fun experience for
both you and the dog.
• You are training the dog to use a treadmill. Just the same as if you are
training them to be obedient, or using agility equipment etc.
• The dog needs to have its attention on you, just as he/she would if you
were teaching it a new command.
• Start by having your dog on a lead. The lead must be slack all the time.
The object of the treadmill is to encourage the dog to stand up on its
own rather than leaning on a tight lead.
• Walk the dog on to the treadmill from the back and off the machine
at the front. Again walk the dog on and off the treadmill until it is relaxed.
The treadmill must always be in the 0% gradient (horizontal) position
and on stand-by.
• Allow your dog to sniff and explore the treadmill. Reward and
praise your dog.
• You need to nd some reward that your dog is extremely interested in,
a biscuit, sausage pieces, cheese pieces, any dog treats or a toy.
Encourage your dog to take the treat from your hand and play with the
dog a little to keep his/her attention on you.
Dog Training Manual
When rst using the treadmill
10 | Fit Fur Life - Dog Treadmills
• When your dog is relaxed and his/her attention is solely on you,
press the on/off switch and allow the treadmill to start moving.
• The treadmill starts etc at 0.4km/hr or 0.25m/hr with the Professional
and Superior and 0.8km/hr or 0.5m/hr with the Small and Medium. Your
dog will drift backwards on the treadmill belt, encourage it to walk
forwards, and then it will drift back again, and again encourage it to
walk forwards. This is quite normal however if the dog looks seriously
unsettled stop the machine. Remember at this stage you are merely
introducing your dog to the treadmill.
• After 30 seconds or so switch the treadmill off. Reward and praise
your dog.
• Repeat this 4 – 5 times. Praising and encouraging your dog. Please try
to keep a slack lead so that your dog can move its head and examine
what is going on. Keep it fun and keep his/her attention on you. It also
allows the dog to learn to carry itself properly which is very important for
even muscular development to happen all over the body.
• Repeat this process twice a day for about two to three days.
• When you feel your dog understands that the treadmill starts and stops,
use the arrow keys, and the speed will increase by 0.1km/hr and
less than 0.1m/hr.
• Only you will be able to tell when your dog is walking at a comfortable
pace, by watching it. Your dog must be comfortable in its walking gait
for a few days before pushing it to a striding out gait.
• Decline function is available for all the treadmills
TROTTING
• After 1 – 3 weeks you can either teach the dog to trot or start to use the
incline and decline features. Some dogs will take to these changes
much quicker than others.
• Every single dog is an individual. Please treat them with respect and
don’t expect one to be achieving at the same rate as his or her
kennel mate.
• When trotting your dog you must be by its side at all times.
