After Vin's Food/diet Thread. What About Condtioning


Recommended Posts

Dependant on what the dogs quarry is will depend on what conditioning programme you follow ... a lamping dog that is getting numerous short burst runs with very little rest time in between will be working different muscle groups and will need to convert blood oxygen differently to keep the muscle groups working than a coursing dog .... Also the heart and lungs will be working at different rates for a coursing dog compared to a sprinter .... Personally I like to condition my dogs for all round work with a mixture of different training techniques ..........

f**k me..I'm out of breath reading this let alone going on some of the aforementioned training regimes..for the odd rabbit and a few rats I can't really see the point :-)

I give mine a good lay off and myself . It's hard slog in the winter with working long shifts and getting the dogs out as much as possible. I would say they remain reasonably fit with walking about th

ALL THIS QUAD TALK WORK THEM TO FITNESS THATS THE ONLY WAY, TROTTING BEHIND A CAR ETC,, KEEPS THEM IN TRIM, AND THATS ABOUT IT,, TRUTH KNOWN CHUCKING A BALL ON A SCOPE 20/30 TIMES WILL DO THEM MORE GO

In your opinion socks, what different training methods would you use for a coursing dog and a lamper ? There are lots of differing opinions, some lads i know just run them fit, at start of season and are out quite a bit and just build them up week by week. Another couple of different fellows i know, run them quite young and try and build an inbuilt stamina in them from pups, not everyone agree,s with there methods but works for them. The lads i,m on about are just lampers. Some other folk keep them ticking over all summer by biking or behind motor.
Cant speak for sock but for our corsers we run em behind the quad for bout 12 mile few time a week, then load free runnin. For our field bitch bit dif we run em 1 a week behind the quad rest just hunt up moochin for as many free hr a day I got but then go sumwear dead of game n get em retrievin the ball, I got 1 of them pet lover ball chuckers. Chuck, strike, retriev, chuck again. So in a week all muscle groups/fibers hit

ive jogged mine next to bike and vehicle, i find car the best as you can see what speed and distant you done. i dont allways use tarmac sometimes byways as well especially with young dogs because i think to much on tarmac can damage them long term. its hard on bike especially if a cat runs out in front of you :laugh: trust me i no, could damage dog or your self lol. ive just got a double dog walker now though so should be abit easier, will mix it up though and still jog em out of motor. i think free running good on open land as well, when there sprinting ect. :thumbs:

always walk mine a few mile twice a day, they free to hunt up quarry whilst in bushes etc once out on open fields they make a fair job of keeping themselves fit chasing about, learns the pups well turning etc moneth before kick off I bike em out every other day, starting at around four mile mark and move up as they increase are made in stamina , do about 1/2 on road and half free running over fields rough ground, had em up to 15 mile with older dogs and no visible signs of tiring, they simply intake more food to cope, diet is equally important as time spent conditioning once without the other is next to useless :thumbs:

A couple of local-ish coursing lads i know run theres behind the motor and a few other lads up and down the country do this as well. Ive never tried it myself, i imagine finding a suitable road would be a problem round here. Anybody else do this ? How far and fast and were ect ? :thumbs:
