It's not really about being lazy. These products are not created for people they are created for the working dog who needs a job to do. Many breeds like huskies, rotties, labs, malamutes, are not happy unless they are exercised constantly and/or given a job to do. This is not torture for the working dog....this is what they love to do. This seems like a great product to me. A mildly trained set of one or two dogs would work wonderfully with this product.
