I've had the dogPacer for a few weeks now. Overall, its a great product for the price as compared to other dog land treadmills. My only complaint is that I have large, powerful working dogs (Rottweilers) and when you increase the speed to get them to a trot (above 4.5 mph), the treadmill is not as solid as I would like. It definitely bounces and moves underneath the dog. Thankfully, my dogs have no issues with motion sensitivity, but if I had a dog that did, I would want it to be much more stable. Before I bought it, I emailed the DogPACER folks themselves to inquire about this, and they said it wouldn't be a problem they have had much larger dogs on it than mine. My dogs aren't the heaviest dogs out there, but they have a lot of power in their trot.
My one other issue with the product is the metal hooks on the overhead bar, that are used to keep the side panels in place. I have had two of my dogs get their collars hooked in them when trying to manuever on/around the treadmill.
But I love the four degrees of incline, the length of the tread, the easy set up/install, the variations in speed that are available, and the price.
