I focus on core work first. Pretty much stuff in the videos and links I've recently posted. It's nice as that stuff can be done pretty much anywhere. And it teaches a dog to use it's body so it stays safer in other exercise.
I also do lots of off leash runs and will start biking with then when the weather is a bit better.

Just like with humans...short bursts of high intensity exercise really increases the cardiovascular fitness, burns fat and increases muscle mass. In humans it boosts the HGH, I guess it does in dogs too, whatever you call it DGH? LOL
PS, I just saw your video...it really doesn't seem to me you are the pack leader since they run off wherever they want...plus the behavior in the car was concerning. You might want to look at those issues.

Edit reason: watched video
A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

The whole thing seemed rather chaotic to me....from the car ride to the dogs running off on their own. I gave up after you were tromping thru the woods chasing after the dogs. Just not 'constructive' exercise in my mind....but some exercise for them non the less. But hey, JMO.
Bob the sign details should be readable type: 10-80, target: wild dogs.
there are precautions I take in terms of risk minimisation.
this is where theory meets practice and failure = death.
toads and snakes are a worse problem than baits anyway and nobody seems to freak out about that.
farmers with lots of dogs and no individual training time for them just use light muzzles on their dogs so it is impossible to eat a bait but they can drink water and have full air circulation.
on the upside, I do not have to worry about any hikers with their pet dogs around a corner, they just do not come out because 1. there are baits and 2. there are vicious wild dogs there to be baited.
