I work mine on cattle, they can bay cattle 30 min/day 2-3 times a week. Its a great work out, tunes up their bay style, and really unwinds there brain.

I am working on gaining access to some un-used got "pens". one is supposed to be 4 acres and the other is 14 acres. Figured the dogs could "hunt" in the big one once a week and get the pups ready for January 1 st when deer season goes out.

I put my dogs on an old treadmill I got from a garage sale 3 times a week even on the weeks that we hunt and try and take them to the beach at least twice a month each for a swim. I am not sure how this affects their conditioning but it sure does make my kennels alot quieter on the weeks we don't get to get in the bushes.

Thats the very reason I leased a 150 acre pen. Just to train pups and to be able to hunt dogs thru deer season.

I work mine on hogs in the pen and they get at least an hour to run the yard each day, just to goof off, play, and get excercise!

We bay ours in the pen and also try to take them on long runs with the 4-wheeler as often as possible.
