Treadmills -- Sprints or slow and steady

You got to start out slow and work them up. Easy to screw a dog up with to much work . A over worked dog is in much much worse shape than a dog that never worked and you just cut him off the chain.

The very best work on a mill for a dog is a fast quick trot it is the trot that they are in just before they go into a lope. You want to work a dogs ass off put him in that gait and it will work his whole body inside and out . But you got to be careful not to put to much work on him if you do you are doing nothing more than screwing him up badly. Watch his tonge when it starts to widen he is getting hot when it starts to curl up you fixing to loose him if you don't watch out. When you work your dog on a mill and his work is done be sure to walk him out and let him cool down naturally do not artificially cool him down with a water hose are anything like that . Walk him out let his body learn to cool hiself dog not you cool him down because when he gets in a bind you are not gonna be able to be there for him to throw the water hose on him. You got to let the dogs body learn to deal with the stress he is under and how to control it . Lot to it man .
