For my GSD, I used a springer. It's a bike attachment that allows the dog to pull you along on the bike without a visit to the hospital <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> . I just wanted to make her tired so that she wouldn't rip the house up, but she ended up becoming conditioned to the point that we were going 2 miles a day. Now that we have a fenced yard for her to burn off steam I just jog her.

I didn't do it on purpose, but we did really muscle up the Giant. We just taught him to cart. Between dragging around the tire to get him used to pulling, and several mile long exercises pulling the wagon he muscled up nicely.
I did know a man with some AB's that he wanted to really muscle up. He taught them to carry back packs and put weight in them while they walked up and down hills. It seemed to work fairly well.
Muscles are one thing, but be careful not to over do it. Make sure you temper it with equal amounts of conditioning and running to build stamina.

Of coure... the best thing about my boy is that if i put him in water he just loves to swim... easy conditioning... Heart and lungs also will come into it.. Go thoughts richard... did you find with carting the dogs rear or shoulders muscled up?
