I purchased a used PetZen DogTread from a third-party on craigslist about six months ago. It was very easy to train my French Bulldog to use it.
The first week I didn't turn it on at all. After the first week, I started to feed my dog on the platform. When she was used to jumping up on it, I made sure that she was on lead and started it up on the slowest speed. I gave her lots of treats and praises. Each day I increased the speed and time a little and continued with the treats. As I was training her, I played around with various speeds until I found that 2.5 mph was the best speed for her gait. The training took about a month all together.
My dog uses it about four or five days a week and stays on for about 45 minutes to one hour without a lead. I still use a treat to lure her on it, but once she starts, she stays on by herself. I now keep the treadmill in my garage along with a big fan for warmer days. I always warm her down slowly to the slowest speed before she dismounts. This is a truly wonderful device, and it has solved the problem of my inability (bad knee) to walk her.
I HIGHLY recommend the PetZen DogTread, and the small dog size doesn't take up very much space. There is a youtube video of my Coco Chanel the French Bulldog on her PetZen Treadmill:

I bought this for my Italian (miniature) Greyhound, and after a few days training her on it, she decided she loved it! Now I just ask her if she wants to go for a walk and she runs over and jumps on the treadmill and waits for me to turn it on. Since I swim-laps daily at the gym (and obviously little Bella cannot join me), this has been a great solution for her excessive energy!
A few weeks after I got it, the treadmill started having errors and wouldn't run properly. Since I purchased the treadmill through a third party, I thought the PetZen service department would give me a hard time when it came to repairing the treadmill. BUT I was quite wrong. I sent an email to customer service asking if there was a reset or something that would fix the problem. A service rep was on the phone calling me within 10 minutes and said that the issue was static-electricity in the bone control-console. He said he would put a new one in the mail the next mail delivery free of charge. I had it within 2 days and I haven't had a problem since.
If you can afford the product, I would recommend it to anyone! It is great for me and my energetic dog!

PetZen DogTread Motorized Exercise Treadmill
An absolute must for every dog owner. Excellent documentation and simplicity of assembly. Perfect for inclement weather days. Or for those cold winter days when it's too cold or summer days when it's too hot to exercise your pooch.

Some problems with item assembly.
When I assembled the treadmill, 5 of the screws did not fit into their places. The screws that hold up the bars of the monitor would not go in no matter what I tried. Read more
