I have a saluki X. Yeah i understand i can run him next to a bike, car etc. Was just wondering if there is any other things you guys do or is this the main way of bringing a dog to peak fitness? Sorry for the newbie questions, i'm sure you're all rolling your eyes at this one Clip

Was hoping you guys could let me on on a few tricks of the trade on bringing your dogs up to peak fitness. I've heard alot about road work but is there anything else i can to to bring my dog on? Thanks Clip

Great advice guys, thanks alot. This is his exercise schedule. Mornings is a brisk on lead walk, after i give him 15mins to do his business i bring him to heel and we walk non stop for about an hour round our village. This doesn't effect him in the slightest and he's ready to go again when we get home. Me on the other hand, i'm knackered! He gets his off lead walks in the afternoons, If we're just conditoning we're just down the kids palying feild and he free runs for about 30mins to an hour. We do distant recall training here and play retrieve games etc to tire him out. He gets pretty tired

I've been trying to line train him and keep him on a 30ft line for months, walking round this place we go. He's great on the line but he's not daft and when i brave an off lead attempt he's gone. The times this has happend he's been very succesful at catching his quarry (hare) but obviously due to th

Is it a bitch or a dog?

Hi All, Just a quick intro. My name is Dan, I've had my longdog for almost two years now, he's a saluki/grey X and he's coming up for 2 years old. He's a very keen hunter and has numerous catches uder his belt. If only i was a little bit of a better master, i feel i let him down sometimes with my lack of knowledge which is what led me to finding this site. This is a pic of him racing in a lure chase event last year. Dan.
