My rescue dog, Luna, is a 18-month-old Pit Bull mix. When she was rescued, she was extremely timid, afraid of strangers, loud noises, and even when taken for a walk, she would walk close to the wall, let alone exercise. The vet suggested positive reinforcement training to build her confidence, but I tried many methods without success. Later, I bought a Ronzeil non-electric treadmill. At first, Luna would hide whenever she saw the treadmill. I didn't force her; I just put her in the living room and placed some of her favorite treats on the running belt each day to let her gradually get used to it. After a week, she dared to approach and sniff it. A few days later, she tried stepping onto the running belt. I encouraged her gently, and she slowly took a couple of steps. The running belt turned gently, without noise or vibration, and she gradually relaxed. Now, Luna looks forward to "treadmill time" every day. She runs to the treadmill and waits. When I raise my hand to signal her, she jumps on, gradually becoming more confident, from a slow walk to a jog. Running has not only improved her health but also made her much more outgoing—now when we go for a walk, she greets other dogs and no longer hides from strangers. This treadmill is designed to be very gentle, with no sudden starts or noise, and the running belt provides excellent cushioning, making Luna feel very safe while running. For a timid rescue dog, it's not just exercise equipment, but a "friend" that builds confidence. Seeing Luna improve little by little, I'm so grateful for this product!
