Ya a treadmill will work but why no backpacks? You have to do twice the walking to equal the workout a dog gets with some weight on their backs. I fill my dog's packs with water bottles. If the cops want to stop you let them and let them see the water bottles. ;) It would shock you the difference it makes in draining the dog's energy. A treadmill is good, but it also does not replace the stability and "pack activity" of walking. The walk is a very important part of dog leadership, dog packs travel together and therein lies much of their bonding. Having a trainer is awesome, but there's still no replacement for just taking him out and draining that energy down to nothing ;)
