I've done both ways for over an hour with separate dogs without any issues.

    Always remember that so much of what you hear is being uttered by people that have never put forth the effort to try and disprove things that have always been passed down as gospel. That's one of the things I like about dogs and conditioning devices. I have the ability, as do we all, to disprove things.

    Bert Sorrells keep revolved around using a carpetmill. He didn't use a slat or a jenny. He used a carpetmill, and this was back in the 70s and 80s. The same could be said for Mad & Skip, who were proteges of Bert.
    Is this the type of carpetmill your taking about, this one looks like it's a smooth turning one.

Raise the slat all the way up, turn the brakes on slightly and the dog will climb a hill. Turn him the opposite way and he's running down hill.
    Adjust the adjustable shocks/springs to how heavy the dog is and the mill/dog will look like they're working in harmony.
    This mills look like they are great and you can do many different type of exercise regiments, they even have one that can be used as an emill. The only thing is that they cost to much especially the ones with all the features.

    That's not like the one I'm talking about, but that goes to show the different type of mills out there. No dog can run my carpetmill like that hahahahahaha! It simply won't turn that fast even with it being sprayed down.

    Nothing in life is worth killing over, Especially these dogs. But if you were talking about killing feral cats, hell yeah I would too.
    But yeah I thought the speedo was off too when it couldn't go any higher than 59.8. I think that's the max it'll go. It came with the DT. It shows the odometer, time, calories burn, average speed, distance and cycle of the belt. Its a pretty cool piece of device.

    Anyone heard of a company called grand carpet mills? I've seen YouTube videos on them and they look OK I guess. Just wondering if anyone owns one or has thoughts on them as I'm considering buying a mill on a budget. Thanks.
