storm2010 3 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 how do u make sure the dog is not over trained going into a race? say 8 weeks to get a dog fit, what time do u start to cut down the work? interested to hear everyone's points on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oddser 79 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 you would ease of for last week but still massage 2 a day its a hard question to answer as all dogs are diffrent i have had stayingdogs that needed a gallop on race day to perform at their best its down to knowing your dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wexford Pa 84 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 id stop galloping a week before and keep on the lead for that week doin roadwork only, ease off on the roadwork the day before the race and the day of the race, do ur normal massaging up to day before the race, then start massaging to warm up and stretch out for day before and day of race Quote Link to post Share on other sites
