Whats da correct way to use a E-mill? Can they come in real strong?
You can have the bulldog run a steady pace or do high interval training. Just like humans would do on a treadmill. You just have to keep a really close eye because they don't have hands to stop the machine and pause like we can. Watch very closely for any little hints. That they need to get off. Don't over do the work and keep it fun.
thats why i never really liked the idea of hooking the dog up to anything and not having sides on the emill...............
A steady pace does not make a dog "real strong" ...
Only hardcore windsprints can modify strength a bit, but no emill is really for strength training at all. At best they can be used for windsprints.
A carpet mill would be better for strength training.
Whats da longest they can be on the e-mill??
Id take the handles off and not hook him to anything, let em run at his own pace.......the idea scares me a bit, but i zuppose if the dog wants to slow down he could just jump off & back on as it pleases
Yet another post that is going to get limited response. Where does one begin with a post like this?
There are so many fine points to canine conditioning, and here we have a person that just wants to know "how long they can leave a dog on a mill", as if everything is equal amongst all dogs, all e-mill speeds etc. It doesn't work that way friend! You need to build up some fundamental knowledge of canine conditioning, THEN use specific training devices to accomplish your intended objectives.
You can have a Top Fuel dragster that will go 330 mph, but if you don't know how to start it, tune it, or drive it, the car itself is pretty damned useless. Likewise with conditioning tools, if you don't know what you are trying to accomplish with the tool, how to use it, how to read a dog, etc., having an e-mill; or any other device, is utterly useless. Buy The Pit Bull Bible for starters, or if you have bought it please read it.

I've condition plenty of animals and pretty good at. All I was asking a simple question about da e-mill, I've had one in my keep since da started. I add mine in sometime instead of flirting or other things when it's raining. I've notice other people using them thru their whole keep. And I do have da Pit Bible. I staren t wit da carpet mill then da slat mill last da e-mill. But, some use it by itself.
Well said. I like the car/dragster analogy. Keeps must have starting points for each individual dog. Step #1 may say walk one hour. Dog A may walk that one hour on the first day and look at you like he is rippin' to actually do some work. Dog B may barely drag in at the hour mark. The dog has to be fit and trim at the starting point. The first three or four days needs to be assessments of where to start, i.e.,,,how much? how long? what speed? etc.etc.etc. Then it goes from there. The bible keep is a nice starting point. It is really effective. But like any other keep, your dog may be below the level conditioning to start the work on day 1, or he may be right there, or he may even be advanced based on lifestyle. Any time a keep is written down it is nothing more than a guide. The actual numbers, amounts, sets, times, durations have to be custom fit/tailored to each individual dog. EWO
