Why is my puppy peeing or pooping on the treadmill while exercising?

Question

Dear team, I am using a treadmill for my puppy. Schedule 20 minutes twice a day before more than 30 minutes from meals for last few weeks. I am observing something new behaviour that she is peeing or pooping on a treadmill during exercise or walk. Please let me know if I am doing something abnormal or is there anything going abnormal with my Roxy. Her eating and pooping schedules are very much regular.

Hi and thanks for posting! Wow a treadmill! You may try taking Roxy outside for a short walk to do her business before doing any the treadmill exercise so she can get it out prior to treadmill exercising. Vigorous exercise may be stimulating Roxy to urinate or defecating so a short walk prior may help. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
