Please remember to make all training safe and fun for you and your dog.

After all types of exercise, give your dog a good 10 min rub down, starting from the nose down to the toes, this does wonders for your dog,

and gives you a chance to give a thorough going over to make sure there are no problems with them. Pay particular attention to the pads.

If you take the basic concepts of these exercises, add some of your own flavour,your'e going to have a happy, healthy well adjusted dog

No matter what form of exercise you do, there is no substitute for solid dedication, common sense...... and a good dog

Hand walking

The best exercise you can give your dog is simple walking. This creates a special bond between you and your dog aswell as getting you both fit and a chance to meet other dog owners.

Vary the surfaces you walk on and the enviroments. My dogs pull when on the lead, so i use an 7ft lead with a 1ft splitter wrapped around my waist to stop my arm getting pulled about.

You can buy purpose made belts which cost around £20-30. I also use a pedometer so i know how far and how long we have been walking for.

You can get real good results with walking, if you are willing to put in the hours.

Please remember to be responsible when out with your dogs always clean up and have control of your dog at all times as this sends out a good image to joe public about bull breed owners.
