There seems to be quite a difference in opinions at what age the dog should be to start. What are the opinions here? I'm Curious. http://www.werkhondenherplaatsing.nl

But build up slow. Thanks again for the link <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> http://www.werkhondenherplaatsing.nl

ROGER MORROW Webboard User Reg: 08-19-2005 Posts: 6 Loc: Offline	Good information here, thanks. The one point that I think needs to also be discussed is the breakin period for the dog's pads. Running creates a lot more friction on the pads and of course the surface of the terrain is a big factor. When first starting to excersize the dog's conditioning may allow him to go farther but his pads may not be up to it. Injury to the pads will set back your conditioning schedule quite a bit. On that note, does anybody know a good product to use on the pads.
