It'd probably be easier to work on his endurance outside of SchH training. Extended games of fetch in the yard, for example.
If you've got a nice hilly area somewhere that you can practice at, trying tossing his ball downhill, so on the return he has to run back up.
After a few nice long fetches like that, switch it around, so he's running uphill to chase the ball, and downhill to return it.
This is what i do now. It is his main form of exercise. I throw a kong or a puppy tug as far i can a dozen times or so.
Thats a good suggestion about using a hill. Now i will have to search for a good hill to use along with always keeping my eye on good tracking fields.
I bet your dobe never had the intensity of this dog though and that can be very tiring to a dog. He's young so I would wonder if over time and many more sessions he'll calm that little bit to where he doesnt exhaust himself on the first bite. And that is along with what Alyssa has said about conditioning. Watch that downhill chasing though, it's hard on elbows.
Your probably right Steve, but she is pretty intense. I`ll keep that in mind about the elbows. I was actually going to get him on my treadmill, but then thought he might still be to young.
