there is no substitute for a good long walk, but if you use a tread mill, then you need to have your dog on a leash, the leash needs to be tied to the treadmill, so as the mill starts to move your dog can not get off, he will walk to keep up, keep it at a good pace, start slowly and increase the speed, do not get your dog running to start with but build the speed up, you also need to cut your dogs food down a little remember to do this slow and steady and not tire your dog out too much, go for a few pounds a week and do not expect your dog to run flat out as you could do more harm than good, ask your vet for a good exercises and feeding program and stick to it, best of luck honey.
