“I always try to show my dogs in peak condition in excellent coat and plenty of muscle. My dogs all have free running daily but, as the roads are becoming more and more unpleasant for walking to bring a dog into peak condition, I had been considering a treadmill for some time. I bought a Fit Fur Life treadmill at Crufts last year and I have to say it has been money well spent.
It has been unbelievably easy to teach my dogs to use the treadmill and they are happily trotting away after just a few sessions of training. Last summer my English Setter bitch ‘Sh Ch Mariglen Francesca Fenston’ became the breed’s youngest ever recorded title holder at just sixteen months old. I do not think it is a coincidence that Frankie enjoys being exercised regularly on my Fit Fur Life treadmill. She is the top winning English Setter for 2008.”
