lurcher-lass 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 There's nothing wrong with good long walks, and a run around a field to keep them fit. And of course lamping keeps them in good shape to Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gaz100604 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 i walk 2hrs in evenin on lead and off lead, and 4hr walks on permission at weekend saturday and sundays, start em on bike 3miles in morning before work end of this month until september coupled with normal evening walk, start season lamping three nites a week dogs thats as fit as i can possibly get the dogs should be enough my 14month old colliexwhippxgrey is ripped with muscle not bad on bunnies either big season coming up fitness is parmount in my book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcher lass 9 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 i personally wouldn't bother with swimming as fitness routine, fine for lesuire or change but not to sort the dogs fitness, road work were the dog is constantly going at the same pace either by with you walking or jogging or next to a bike, this tones the muscles better then off lead where the dog will trot a bit stop and sniff and wonder etc however this shouldn't be instead of a walk, as this is good for training and bonding with the dog, retrive work and the odd gallop on pursuit helps of course and lamping is fantastic as it also helps keep the dog intune with its quarrey and prevents the dog from being rusty at beginning of season or over keen which can both be a problem hope this helps mate bring on next season catch ya in chat a silly hour of the morning!! lurcher lass x x x x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hector 1 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 sprints with a ball does the trick a dog that has to much muscle burns out to quick build muscle lose stamina jmo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I sit at the top of a bill hill and throw the ball down the hill so dog has to bring it back up said hill i find this works well.a good run with other lurchers is excellent too.My only moan is that my male chases the dog rather than the ball not always but when he does its annoying and my bitch ends up telling him off he shouts back and then we have a tantrum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
