Cold Ethyl 63 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Good food plenty of walking and swimming if he will swim and running alonside your bike can all do wonders.Plenty of free running too Quote Link to post
iceman001979 1,316 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 AS ABOVE SAID AND ONCE HE AND YOU START LAMPING AND HUNTING YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS ONCE HE STARTS GETTING FEW RUNS HERE AND THERE. Quote Link to post

rocky1 942 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 do,nt 2 much at once on the bike as you could damage his pads ,just a few mile nothing more and build him up slowly lots of roadwalking,try and get him on some raw food and good diet you show see a difference in a month Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Did put this on your other post in pretty good detail mate, in case you missed it! P.S - Coursing reffers to running hares, and is now illegal, so you may want to drop that phrase in public. Quote Link to post
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Just do it? Over the past couple of days you have been given loads of advice mate. But you keep posting wanting advice. Switch the PC off and do it?????? Quote Link to post
THLpatrick 555 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 i kno but ive had my girlfriend round so shes been lazy out today! cant wait to just get him going at a fast pace! Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,626 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Try him at lure coursing if your just wanting to use him for something. You don't have to get permission and lamps etc for that just join a club and away you go. Quote Link to post
