Answer 1

Yes but it takes a while to train them. First you get them used to standing on the treadmill without it moving on them. Get them to not be afraid of it. This is over a few days. then you slowly call them and let them walk up it. As they get used to that action when they are on the treadmill you can turn it on slowly. The first few times they walk on it, praise and reward.

Soon he will learn that it isn't scary and is quite enjoyable.
