    With an emill you could walk your dog on it for long periods of time at a control pace. Or you could turn down the speed and have him simulate weight pulling. If you could do this with an emill, you don't need a carpet mill or go out and walk your dog( it'll save a lot of time and money), and easier on the dog's pads.
    I wouldn't use the emill to put wind into my dogs though. Instead I'll use a slat mill. When a dog is trotting or running on an emill, all he is doing is trying to keep up with the turning belt, working mostly his arms and legs. When he's on the slat, he has to pull forward thus working his whole body.
    With the working schedule you posted on top, I personally wouldn't plan it like that. The dog needs to be work into the keep..slowly at first and peaking at the end. That way he won't get hurt, and be strong at the end of his keep.

    Yeah I progressed him to this point, I started with just the walks and running sessions, latter I added a sprinting session and a bit latter I added another sprinting session and now I'm at this point. I just need the mills because we are starting to get.bad weather. I prefer to work my dog with outside walks, runs and flirt pole work because that way he get out, I try to wprk him at different places and also I can get a better connection with my dog.
