12 | Fit Fur Life - Dog Treadmills
• There is a time delay of 3 seconds before the treadmill reaches the
speed that you have set, this allows the dog to break into a trot pace
comfortably. You need to give lots of encouragement at this point and
tell them to trot on.
• Once it is trotting decrease/increase the speed so that the dog can
remain trotting comfortably. This is a very intense pace and they need to
concentrate on what they are doing. When they trot for the first time just
trot for 30 seconds and then bring them back down to a walk. Slowly
build up from here.
INCLINE FUNCTION
• When introducing your dog to the incline function, he/she should be
totally comfortable with the walking gait and striding out gait.
• The incline feature is the same for all 5 of the Fit Fur Life models and
adjusts very finely in single increments. It is motorized, quiet and
smooth. It is a maximum of 3.5% each way.
• Your dog really should not even notice you adjusting it.
• Make sure your dog is in a walking gait for a few minutes of
warm up time.
• Then using the arrow key press it once, the back of the treadmill
will lower.
• If you gently adjust the incline by one percent every other day, your dog
should be very comfortable with this. If your dog shows any signs of
stress, or fatigue bring the treadmill back up to the 0% gradient using
the arrow key.
• Slowly re-introduce your dog by adjusting over a longer period of time.
DECLINE FUNCTION
• This function is available on all of our Fit Fur Life models
• This function should be used when the dog has become totally
comfortable with the walking gait and striding out gait.
• The decline function is again very finely adjusted in minus single
increments. It is motorized, quiet and smooth.
• Make sure your dog is in a walking gait for a few minutes to warm up.
