Running On Soft Ground

[rob190364 2,594]

can someone point out where I'm saying I wait for perfect conditions??

 

ps. those that are saying get out regardless of conditions, how come your in at midnight on this windy night? ;-)

How was the dog today? Did she look jaded or tired? You can only run a dog as much as its able to run. Taking a dog thats stiff or exchausted from the night before will def not get it fitter, the opposite more like. But if she was ok then by all means take her out, choose your runs and hopefully she'll catch, at the end of the day the more experiance she gets the better she should become.

if your dog can not run two hard night in a row,then get rid of it

if yae wait for perfect conditions before you go out then the dogs wont be doing much

totally agree, hence the reason I went out last night even though it was quite bright.

 

But honestly, I couldn't even walk on some parts of the field without sinking over my boots. With only a month or so left of the season I wouldn't be waiting for perfect conditions, but I'm just not convinced it would be beneficial to be chasing and losing rabbits that would normally be caught. I know it'd get the dog fitter in the long run, but it's not going to do much for confidence.

 

it'll make her hungrier.. get her out at them just don't stay out as long as you usually would be, tiring on her

If you have plenty of ground to go on, I would go out. If you have limited ground it's not worth educating the rabbits.

 

Soft ground makes the dogs look slow, the power is lost to the mud.
