I have been off from work for a week now and besides running everyday I have been training my 5 month old Vizsla Duke to run/walk on the treadmill. Basically, I'm just getting him used to it at a walking pace so when he gets older he is not afraid. Right now I don't set the treadmill faster then we would walk and I don't let him go for more then a 1/2 mile. Once Duke is old enough he will become my new training partner, but till he gets older he will have to deal with walks outside and on the treadmill.
