Example of our conditioning
program
Monday, Wednesday and Friday we
road dogs 30-45 minutes each morning and swim in the evenings.
This builds the right muscle for speed and stride to cover
the ground efficiently. Friday before
a weekend event we generally rest the dogs entered.
Evenings we like to swim our dogs for one
hour in deep enough water they can not touch bottom. You will
notice improved lung capacity, strength and endurance combined.
If we had only one exercise
to choose from, we would swim our dogs! Swimming is a safe
but effective
workout on joints, muscles and tendons, and will change the
outcome
you are currently receiving from your conditioning program.
Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturday we “freelance” dogs
for 45 minutes in the heat of the day in pasture or fields.
This builds the stamina and wind needed to finish strong and
find birds when others
are breathing from their mouths!
We feel the key to our success is reflected in the
importance we
place in having the proper physical and mental
conditioning program with a performance nutrition program.
It is a proven fact that
physical fitness equals mental fitness. Put yourself in Lance
Armstrong’s position. Is he physically fit?
Well conditioned? Mentally strong?.. Is he a winner?
