Anybody using these? Like the ones people use to exercise there horses.

I was going to post the same ?, I dont know the answer but I do remember that I allways saw an add for them in American Cooner or Coonhound Bloodlines, If anyone has one of those mag's probaly about 5 years old, we could contact that company and see if they still make them or know who dose.

I have a buddy that uses one. The thing you need to be careful about is make sure they are in some kind of harness and not just on a lead so you dont hang them when they get tired.

Use a bungie cord it works great.

I use a treedmill for mine. Started them a pups and they love it. The older dogs shy away. Treedmills are cheap if not for give away.

Dose anyone know who makes a Motorized Dog Walker, I used to see adds for them in coonhound bloodlines or American Cooner.

my dad made one out of a concrete mixer . could have 4 dogs at a time on it.

would like to see some pics of that if ya can get any

if ya got a pit bull on your property be careful with the dog walkers and such. many states consider it dog fighting paraphernalia

cant get a picture of it cuz im 2500 miles away but he turned the barrel of the mixer srait up and welded a big plus on top of it with leads coming off each end. he put some real loose spings on each lead it was probaly a 30 ft circle across . not hard to make if you have an old mixer.

ok, I follow what yer sayin now

i use one i built and i just use the collars but i sit and watch em go around till i know they can do it for an hour or two without getting tired...... i used a rear end and 4 speed trany with a few sprockets and chain and a electric motor two pulley wheels and a fan belt in case they stop then the fan belt will slip.. i used the 4 speed trany for speeds and also the reverse to run them in a different direction every once in a while i have 15 foot arms and run up to 8 dogs at a time if you go two by two but i only run four at a time we had it figure with a measuring wheel and the clock that they would travel 6 miles in an hour at a trot if they ran a perfect circle at the ends of the arms!!

ive been looking all over to get one to use in the off season when the snow is too deep to hunt. I cant find the old add in Bloodlines to save myself but i did find a link in full cry. www.hotwalkers.com but im not gonna pay that much for one. They can keep em. The one i recalled in bloodlines was like 1500? i think.

I couldn't find one either, so i built my own.

Sorry no close-ups right now but I'll see if i can get some in the next little while for ya.
