i ask what was the best way not how but u allways get a dick head

Sorry boys for that.

Decent housing, decent grub, excercise, job done until the working season

[chartpolski 23,343]

Sorry boys for that.

 

Hey !! It's all a wind up, it's only the internet !! To answer the origional question, I'd say again...Give the dog the best kenneling, best food, best grooming/conditioning and pleanty exercise, then when the season starts, pleanty work, and it should all come together ! There is NO magic formula for training working dogs !!

 

Cheers.

3 mile 3 times a week, 5 mile once a week, various speeds next to the bike. Bushing on the days in between. Gets in nice hard condition and all ready for the season.

 

if you did as you say thyen how long would you say it would take to get a lurcher fit for season pal?

 

i just do this all year round [bANNED TEXT], they are capable of alot more but i would say 8 weeks of this is more than enough to see good results. It gets the wind in em i think, and improves the staying time

I just walk round up the mountain for a few hours letting dogs get on with it and some sprint work in the evening before feeding then rest, keeps mine going

i feed the best food i can get, give them a good warm kennel, my season starts in september so i start to get them fit in july they get 8 mile by the bike 4 days a week and 3 days free running. but it depends on the dog as to how much it takes to get them fit
