During a period of 1 year, 10 beagles ran up to 40 km/day at a speed of 5.5 to 6.8 km/h and with an uphill inclination of 15 degrees. By the end of training, the daily running sessions lasted 7 hours. The design of the treadmill and experience of the treadmill training is given. The apparatus was reliable and convenient to use.
