What are some of the tips and/or tricks you use on a dog that doesn't want to work? And let's skip hand-walking, it is a good way to spend time with your animal but it will not get you there. I'm an Air Assualt soldier from Ft. Campbell walking was my specialty (10 min/mile pace) with a full load.
If you're weight-pulling a dog (using moderate weights), having a second conditioner bait him by dangling a flag or flirt pole in front of him is good.Originally Posted by AL Clown
A chicken/rabbit in a cage works wonders on the jenny/treadmill too

I remember when you and Compound had those chicken and would let the dogs chase them with the weights. I grew up around chicken, ducks and turkeys all my life (grandparents) but i have never put my hands on one unless it was fried
Also I have seen guys place their dog on a mill then use a second dog to motivate him.
The perpetual "scratch into each other" mirrored-image effect
Ill give a little something up. instead of wieght training during a keep i use the speed chute and do windsprints. Very good tool that is a natural wind wieght resistance that increases power, speed, and quick strong burst.
What about conditioning without a mill?
had alot of fun with atvs and dirt bikes. works real well in the deep woods where you can take them off lead and not worry
If you can get one to fetch a kong ball and bring it back to you...boy oh boy that's a good one! I have a male that I got from my partner, and he never spent time with him at all! So much so that he is afraid of basketballs!! The more time you put into one, the more you'll get out of him/her.
Using a chicken is the best I found that tugging on the chickens tail makes in release a distress sound and which excites ur pet and wont harm ur bird
