WGD Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Take it out and hunt it for increasing periods of time. They soon get match fit as the season progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Get out training, or shooting over him! Mine is currently built like an Ox since getting started on the harvest pigeons and bunnies. Roll on October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 treadmill and a balanced diet you serious? :o Does it get a rub down or a sauna after? Mate, Just take it out hunting and don't let it do too much too soon. IMO a dog should find something to do all year not just in the pheasant season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Swimming is also good, read something somewhere that reckoned 10 minutes swimming is the same as 30 minutes running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis F Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 To every one!! Thanks a lot for all the info! Reason I ask is I've been Ill and once I recovered the dog came down with a bug and all training and work came to a stand still but we both ready to go now! And ive been offered some beating so I want to get her fit as a flea!! Once again cheers lads! Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Do some basic training with the dog just to tidy it up a bit, let it hunt up some blind retrieves, then get it hunting up some rabbits and in hot weather is the time to do some water retrieves. Enough of this will get it ready for the season and freshened up on its training. ATB Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
