ok need some tips. Sam is still not his best but the vet said he could go for walks as tolerated a little at a time to try to build him back up and get his excess weight off. He has lost quite a bit, not sure how much though because his vet had a fire and when I took him in they didn't have their scale. Anyway I thought maybe a few minutes a day on the treadmill would be great. He lays right next to it when I'm on it so he's not scared of it and he is really not scared of anything (other than the dark, LOL). I have never had a problem with him in new situations, he always goes with the flow and will let anyone do anything to him without a fuss. So I didn't expect to have any problem. Well, how wrong I was. He didn't like it one bit and at first would just not walk, he'd just slide right off the back, LOL! Well I got him walking but very reluctantly and the main problem is he keeps walking forward too far and stepping on the area in front of the belt. I think if I could keep him from doing that he might feel better about it. So any tips? Have to admit I did little research before putting him on, so I probably did alot wrong.
