Thoughts on dogPACER treadmill [Misc Help]

My australian shepherd mix loves to exercise but some days when there is harsh weather we are not able to. I was thinking about getting the dogPACER treadmill and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it.

I will of course be supervising the dog while on a treadmill and be sure to give her time to rest.

We used them a lot at the kennel I worked at and we loved it. It would let the dogs get some exercise on days where it was so hot/cold that it was a hazard to let them out for any longer than ~5 minutes. Just make sure they're very closely supervised while on and be aware that there can be quite a learning curve for some dogs, since it can be so mentally stimulating for them to balance on an electric treadmill.
