iceman001979 1,316 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Every man will have different ways on getting there dogs fit but am sure there food plays a good part in it as well. Some use bike or car or van other free run there dogs for few others just road walk there dogs. You can do all this but the more game (runs) you put in front off your dog the fitter and better he going be Quote Link to post

mally 832 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm a great believer in trotting a dog at the side of a bike or car on a road or track to get it fit before the season starts as it helps firm everything, getting it ready for the knocks and bumps it's going to encounter during the season. Once the season is underway the more you put in front of the dog the fitter it will become. A good quality diet is also essential. 3 Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 2 mile in the mornings then a hour hunting, bushing, free running whatever you call it, then as the season starts and progresses staedily increase the lamp work Quote Link to post
