Everyone has opinions on the best exercises. But since everyone is always asking, i thought i would share what i usually do. Everyone else add what they do. Swimming i feel is one of the best ones out there..for one it works every muscle in the body while building wind. If you can get your dog to swim fast (going after ball, stick, etc)...working the front legs hard then it brings out the shoulder muscles a lot! I also run/jog my dogs on a fourwheeler on the beach...or in the mountains...depends where i'm at. That builds wind and stamina. also in the sand, it builds muscles! and of course the daily springpole work and flirt pole. weight pull is a good way to build bulk and brute strength, but you need to do wind and stamina work w/that to get an all around awesome looking dog! everyone else add what they do, someone might have some tricks up their sleeve.
