I Brought Back this 15th Century Dog Powered Technology

In this video I try to bring back the dog profession of the turnspit dog, and spent a year trying to train one to make it work. Do you think this technology will make a come back?

    Pretending that this isn't an April fools presentation, your problem was using food to motivate dogs. I had a dog. a husky/cattle dog mix, Foxie, that I could get to do calisthenics, with rolling over and sitting up and then laying down repeatedly, based on just a desire to please me and get praise and show how smart she was. She would heel reliably, although she wouldn't come back after letting her off lead until she had run off her energy. Sled dogs will pull and run for miles, and they are not trained by using treats.

    Like the other person said, It is different for every dog. I have a full size Australian Shepherd who I have trained with treats near exclusively. He loves attention and to be rubbed down, and he will learn and listen for praise. However, his food drive is to an extreme. He becomes absolutely engrossed in learning whatever he needs to so he can get the food. It is amazing because he has such a sharp intellect and honestly training him with treats has been a tremendous success. I tried not to train him with only treats, but food was always on his mind. Praise or play only did so much for him as a reward. But in my opinion it made him far easier to train. Just to clarify, I taught him most of the commands or habits using food as a reward. However, once he knew the command completely, I rarely used treats to reward him for it. Unless the opportunity presented itself naturally. His food drive is so intense that he puts 100% of his brain power into learning the command every single time. Even for regular old dog food. I can't tell you how many commands he has learned in the 5 min before he eats his meals. If he had it his way, he'd be sausage shape for sure. Sorry to ramble on about my dog, but my point is it is highly dependent on each dog's personality. Mine still enjoys following my commands when I ask him to, no treat needed. But to teach him at his highest potential, he needs a food based reward to focus on learning. I'll add that his herding drive is very strong, so strong that it is the only instinct that can override his normally calm and cooperative behavior. He goes into a one track mind on those rare occasions, thinking it is something he must do above all else. Unless of course, food is around.

    You could try tying the leash in a position that encourages the dog to stay slightly forward of center. Not so tight that it chokes the dog obviously, just makes it a bit uncomfortable to stop walking. That way you also can tell that if they choose to stop even with the discomfort, it's time to take them off the wheel and let them rest. An adjustable hitch alongside the wheel would be the easiest way to do this.

    To anyone who in genuinely interested in this, dogs be used to power all kinds of things from butter churns and grain mills, to washing machines and bandsaws. The issue in this video, bar it being a joke, is one the dog is old and of low drive, and secondly instead of a wheel he'd be better using a slat mill that restricts the dogs side view, but is open to the front. I will be making videos over the next few months of many of the machines that can be powered via a dog treadmill, including a lathe and a bandsaw.

    You could link the wheel to a treat dispenser which displays a treat, and drops it if the dog runs a certain distance, rinse and repeat. This would ensure the dog runs for a specific amount of time before becoming to full on treats and jumps off. Obviously you have to teach the dog that if they run ancertain distance on the wheel it drops treats, but once you complete that, it becomes automatic.

I only mentioned it because I recalled that in one episode of Good Eats they said that Leonardo da Vinci had designs for a rotisserie cooker that operated on this principal. Hypothetically you could use a small steam engine to rotate the spit, and it would have much better torque, and more efficiency transfer of energy (I think). of course da vinci also had designs that used springs or weights/gravity to do the work, which were probably more effective and efficient.

    With the amount of half-laps you do, you should look into making a 'router plane', easily one of the simplest hand-planes to make and it'll help a lot with the funky grain you often run into with construction lumber (though you're doing a pretty darn good job free-hand I might add). If you're not already doing it, try drilling and driving your pegs in at a slight angle off square and alternate them (5-degrees or so), it'll help hold things together a bit like a dove-tail joint.

Then take it apart and drill the holes. Just mark where they went because they will be specific to each joint and rotation. A lot of times it's easiest to take the measurement using the other part. You could also sand or shave down the pins a little to make them slide in better. Nice job!

    Thankfully my 2 dogs are employed still. (Game keeping) Dogs are amazing animals, if i had a wish to give i would totally use it on dogs to allow them to speak.

    It seems like a better method for training them might be to have them endure a couple spins that you do(slowly) and then give them the treat. That way you associate the wheel itself turning with the reward instead of trying to get at the treat(which would be absent for their actual work).

    I had a dog once that ran without fail anytime they were outside, who would have known it was a turnspit dog. (he ran for 45 minutes once on ice while on a leash)

    my dogs are currently employed as guard dogs and emotional support animals. I'm a big fan of adopting and employing your dog at home.

    I'd been waiting for this ever since you first mentioned it back in the waterwheel video. I was starting to worry that you had given up on the idea. So how many more times are you going to put Theo in an animal costume and stick him inside a wheel? If this keeps up, he may develope a very strange case of Post-Traumatic Stress.

    It genuinely would be interesting to figure out what kind of dog would do this without needing to be constantly bribed. I've heard many a tale of dog and cat owners who got their pets an exercise wheel, and the pets using them for fun for hours - but especially if they have a human running in place on a treadmill right next to them. When it becomes a group activity instead of a trick for treats. There's a whole lot of dogs who still have a high urge to run for various reasons, like border collies or huskies. More of a barrier between the wheel and the fire might help too. I know this video might not have been meant seriously (posted on April 1 and all that), but it's still an interesting conundrum.

    maybe try a tilted dish style of one? I know they're technically modern contrivances, but if you make it with ye olden techniques it should fit your theme... and you could maybe get your cat to do it with a laser pointer...

    All jokes aside, when using pegs, have you considered putting a wedge in each peg to lock it in place?

    I would love to know where you got that cat-wheel I like the design of that one. Great video by the way. And to be honest, I'm happy dogs don't have these horrible jobs anymore, luckily dogs with jobs have fun jobs now: sniffing luggage for drugs, money and even food items.

    The turnspit dog replaced the slave that would have been employed to turn the food. It was cheaper to feed the dog, and it never complained.

    This is why we went to a weight and spindle driven mechanism instead. Getting a good worker that doesn't need micro managed is a tough thing with a dog even back then.

    You should have tried a young bulldog, they have a thing for skateboards. That may translate into wheel running. But i guess you cant tell unless you try.

    I think gear that is leg powered would've been better. Like riding a bike if you were to just spin a chicken. Although back then, people already lack food, so using other sources of energy to power your work would be very beneficial
