I saw this on the ACES Forum, thought it was very interesting, what do you guys think?

I think if you peddled it the whole time you'd be fitter than the dog lol, I'm not sure how it works

i want 1..

how does it work would it be like the lure?

lol them dogs are class, see the way they follow it round the trees its deadly.

See the first bitch is getting lazy and waiting for it come back to her. If I figure out how it works I'll talk to my dad about making one up out of my old bike maybe

lol i dont think the bitch is getting lazy shes just intelligent and knows is coming back that way, yeah sounds good harry id like to know what the lads think about it too.

How big is the filed you have got for the ACES day?

its about an acre harry so we'll just have to do our best till we get something bigger.

Thats cool. Simple and efective.

that looks like a great way to get your dogs going all out. you cant use an electric mill to that effect. A slat mill is better than an electric mill for that type of running but in my opinion walking/running/bycyling/swimming are better, just not as convenient. That contraption is kool if you have the yard space. :-) The dogs look like they are having a great time. :-)

I posted it elsewhere and the main response was that a smart dog would likely wait for it and jump when it goes past again

Do you have a Slat Mill PJ?

Harry we have to work in a Cradle on the side of a building. Its a similar setup to that and all manual, feel the burn

An ingenious yet simple set up, its true if we had the space it would be great. The dogs are just focused on the lure, it open their lungs right up and build up their stamina. Without the possibility of them getting hurt. The slat mills can be very noisey but a good way too, to keep your dog in shape

brill idea but id be dizzy watching them...... shelby has a patch worn out on the grass from running up and down after a cat, thats as close as id get to it coz ive no room

Hank would keep chasing that although he would be intelligent enough to know if he waits it will come. He cant resist a chase........As I said earlier if it moves then he will chase it lol

I think if you stopped it then they'd run towards it again.

yeah i reckon thats how you would get the dog back running, if the dog stops then stop the lure and as soon as he moves get it going again.
