Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C.119 from Provisional Application No. 60/413,475, filed Sep. 26, 2002.
- The present invention relates to a treadmill for use in providing animals, more particularly dogs, with a suitable exercise device.
- The concept of providing a treadmill useable by dogs is well known in the patent literature for providing the required exercise for the dog without the necessity of the owner being obligated to exercise with the dog but suitable devices are not available in practice.
- Examples of such treadmill type devices are shown in the following prior patents. U.S. Pat. No. 6,058,888 (Nichols) provides a first device of this type. However, it does not effectively control and locate the dog in that a standard technique employed by trainers to dominate an aggressive or overtly dominant dog is to stand over it with a leg on either side and lift the dog from under its chest. This upward pulling motion causes the dog to know that it is being dominated this device acts to hold the dog in a similarly dominant manner while forcing it to remain on the treadmill. Excessively nervous dogs may never be able to relax and enjoy exercise in this situation. Also the device leaves the dog completely exposed on all sides, which is a further aggravating factor for a nervous dog. It is left feeling completely vulnerable. Again, an excessively nervous dog may simply never relax in this situation. The device also secures only the front of the dog. A large dog could easily swing its hind end off the treadmill thus risking injury.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. 350,421 (Brubaker) and U.S. Design Pat. No. 347,912 (Golden et al) show devices which are designed or dedicated solely for exercising dogs as opposed to extending the use of a treadmill designed for human usage to accommodate usage by dogs.
