My plan to get a CSW

treadmills are handy for getting your dog used to distance and for building stamina (But still doesn't emulate really "real road" conditions).. but keep in mind young dogs should not be using a treadmill or any other exercise which is repetitive and especially not on natural surfaces. I would consider treadmill exercises the same as biking with a dog, and wouldn't do it until after the dog is physically mature around 18 mth or so.
