Before buying a mill make sure it isn't illegal in your state! It's illegal here (not sure if it's the state or the city that made it ilegal here but it is and I want one to work my dogs)! I may have to sneak one lol j/k not worth it.

that's a carpet mill. Not trying to be funny but i rather spend that extra lil bit to have one that is designed for my dog instead of risking an accidental injury on a human one. I've heard of people hanging their dogs on those things and all sort of messed up accidents so I rather get one specifically designed for the dog. He designs those based on the dogs breed, height and weight. First thing the guy in FL ask is what the dog is being conditioned for so he knows what you will need built.

Thats a carpetmill to. I'm not sure about the slate mills never was interested in one but will check into it. I like the carpet mills cause they are better for the dogs to grip on (less of a resk of them loosing footing).

It looks just like a doggy mill. Block off both sides. Connect the dog with a harnees and not a collar from the sides. The same way you would a doggy mill.
I like it better than a dog mill, you get better results from it.

Red Sky- The only way you can hurt you dog on a people mill is if you just don't know what your doing. I've actually have seen better results on multiple dogs from a people mill than a dog mill. Much more effective.
If its done right. Ones not any more dangerous than the other.

Like I said I have known people that killed their dogs on them. These are people that have been working and training dogs for years so I don't know that it was due to lack of experience but hey to each their own. Not knocking you just saying it aint my cup of tea.
