How do I train my dog to walk on a treadmill? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | neutered | 6 years and 10 months old | 16 lbs

I’d recommend holding a treat in front of Oscar to coax him onto the treadmill first and then have him spend a little time on it to get comfortable. From there you can have it move very slowly and keep holding his favorite treat out front to keep him moving forward. You can gradually increase the speed.
