just keep them ticking over .if they aint chasing anything they will go at there own pace ..you can not keep a dog fully fit all year round.walks by lakes rivers streams ect.so they can take a drink

This is what am doing with my two and abit myself helps with my knee as well killing two birds with the one stone

Stick it on a treadmill then I go and sit in the shade with an ice cold beer.

Afternoons it's just an easy stroll or some pulling.

 

When you say pulling do you mean pulling weights or springpole? ie. pulling forwards or backwards? :hmm:

 

I attach a 5m sling to his harness and put it round my shoulders or hips. Then I let him pull me as hard as he likes round country roads and trails for a couple of hours.

Try living with a kelpie...I don't get the chance to have lazy summers any more...mine are still searching for the sunniest spot in the garden in a heatwave.

 

Last summer I took the six year old bitch out for a five hour walk up on the Downs when the hot weather started and, after a lot of coaxing, I finally managed to encourage to her to take a couple of sips from a puddle, but I could tell she was only doing it to please me. :angel:
