which is one reason why i never really understood how the emill benefits a dog........i understand it still raises the heart rate which is the point behind cardio.....but the slatmill seems much more efficiant than the emill would ever be......
anybody have any good plans for a jenny???
I've used the e-mill too on a couple, and one went over 2:45. He must not have been in too bad of shape eh?
My preference as far as workouts is as follows:
Roadwork with the truck
Jenny
Ground work (Flirtpole or Fetch)
Slat Mill
Carpet Mill
Electric Mill
Swimming
I am sure this won't consist of plans but...I made mine from a mobile home axle. It is a 3" steel pipe concreted in the ground with the hub about 3' off the ground. I attached a steel frame to the wheel to make a table. I attached plywood and carpet to the frame to make a running surface. The frame of the table was made out of 2" square tubing. The arms were 12 ft if I remember, maybe 14' that extended out that bolted on or off. One had a the hook for the dog and the bait. Picture a field goal post parallel to the ground. The other had a counterweights attached. I have seen pictures where jugs of water were used as counter weights. Like most effective conditioning tools it is very simple and very basic. Not sure of this helps as far as plans or blueprints go. EWO
an e mill and a slat mill are totally different, but not all dogs are going to run a slat mill or jenny while most will run an e mill. just recently watched STP yard tour and he used an e mill and flirt pole for bad rosemarys first if an e mill is good enough for them it is definitely good enough for me
