Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise device for a dog configured to allow a dog to perform an underwater walking exercise in a certain space, while reducing the burden on a caregiver who assists the exercise of the dog as an exercise subject. It relates to a device that allows appropriate exercise and rehabilitation without overly burdening the dog.

  A belt conveyor for walking exercise driven by an electric motor is disposed on the rectangular inner bottom of a box-shaped exercise water tank that opens upward and can store water, and the belt is placed in the exercise water tank. Accumulate water at an appropriate depth by immersing it so that the dog, who is the subject of exercise, can walk underwater with little movement in the tank while receiving resistance and buoyancy on the belt. An exercise apparatus for dogs configured as described above has been previously proposed by the present inventors (Patent Document 1).

  The exercise device of Patent Document 1 has equipment necessary for underwater walking exercise for a dog, which is the subject of exercise, and exercises this dog on a dog wearing a jacket with a floater and a handle. A rehabilitation effect can be obtained by an underwater walking exercise or the like in an exercise water tank while an assisting caregiver accompanies and holds the handle.

However, in this type of conventional exercise equipment for dogs, when trying to exercise the exercise dog such as underwater walking exercise, at least one caregiver is accompanied and attached to the dog. It is necessary to continue assisting by supporting the dog while holding a handle or the like provided on the jacket to be worn. At this time, the dog that is the subject of exercise is subjected to loads such as gravity and water flow, and the dog's own movement is added, so that the burden on the caregiver becomes extremely large particularly in the case of large breeds.
