smokey 0 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Just started doing some road work with the dogs , never really bothered before just use to take them for a run round the fields.But speaking to someone the other day they reckon road work will get a dog fitter than just taking for a walk round the fileds.... Anyway I usally do three miles round fields and now doing 3 miles on the road , but have noticed that there pads are going really smooth , it even looks like they are wearing out??...crazy I know... Do I stop walking them and walk them every other day?, also got told to bath them in salt water after a walk cause that will harden them up ??.... please let me know your suggestions and all advice appriecaited. Regards SMOKEY..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 A mixture of road work and free running is probably best. When changing diet, exercise or anything else introduce new thing gradualy to alow the dog to adapt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
