VimDog is a CGPP(Canine General Physical Preparedness)program. It is the first of it's kind as far as we know. Many many canine sites state that you should condition your dog. Few if any go into the specifics of a complete conditioning program. VimDog does.

A "Rose" By Any Other Name
AMRAP in 10 minutes of 10 times through your legs in a figure 8 10 sit pretty to stand 1 20 yard water retrieve
Did a version of this one. Subbed box jumps for sit pretty to stand since Wallace wouldn't do sit pretty to stand for treats with the toys in play for the retrieve. Don't have a place to swim him or his vest so subbed the water retrieve with a 30 yard disc throw. Not nearly as time consuming or tiring as the swim, but I liked the one throw so edited the original workout to drop the retrieve to just one time rather than 3. Could do multiple regular retrieves to sub for swimming retrieve later on.
Lost count of rounds for sure, but he either got 8 or 9 rounds in 10 minutes.
Rose is the former Vick dog that was euthanized for health reasons.
ReplyDeleteProlly would be a better 20 min. I am guessing those retrieves take close to a minute each.
ReplyDeleteNot sure though.
I don't have a great place to do good water retrieves yet, so you might have to try this one and find out if you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteCould cut it down to just 1 retrieve also.

a portable box jump would be nice... one that folds up.
