i always find the best way to get a dog fit is to walk him myself.. also i do quite a bit of road walking to harden his paws up..

the added bonus of this is that im getting fit with the dog

FORGET TREADMILLS...ALL YOULL GET IS A CANINE MIKE TYSON THAT CANT RUN TO SAVE ITSELF ! YOULL DRIVE THE DOG MENTAL. YOUR DOG WILL BE GREAT AT RACING ON TREADMILLS.. THATS ALL......A MIXTURE OF ROAD WORK AND SPRINTS IS WHAT YOU NEED. DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS NEED WORKED IN VARIOUS WAYS. SOME OF THE WISER RACERS WILL NO DOUBT POST YOU BETTER ADVICE.

DEFINITELY GET A LURE AND SOMEONE TO HELP YOU. :thumbsup:

GOOD LUCK J ) HN

Well folks I've used various treadmills for many years, free running slatmills, adjustable dragmills with a rubber belt, and electric mills. I can tell you I've neither heard of nor seen any dog "sent mad" by such devices. Of course free running, especially after live quarry, is the best and most natural form of excercise. But when you work long hours, or when the weather is against you, the mill is just another tool that can be of use to help in conditioning, either running dogs or hard pulling bully types.

Just because you use a mill doesn't mean you don't still take the dogs over the fields for a gallop, but if there are two or three days of torrential rain, or you catch flu, or get a week of hard frost, the dogs can still be worked.

It's not an "either, or" situation.

It's an extra option.
