conditioning a dog "drying out method"

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

im still kinda confused, can we get a good concrete explanation. I thought drying out was not giving water 24 hrs b4 a show. Some people agreed and some disagreed, waiting on definate answer

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

DP "drying out" has nothing to do with H2o intake. it is a slang turm for fluid retention inside the dogs body ie muscles. (basic explanation) the more they work out there muscles brake down. fluid protects them whyle they rebuild. the soreness comes from that process braking & rebuilding of muscles. there's lots of ways to "dry out" a dog but that's a simple way to understand what it means. more muscle = more weight & a lot of that comes from fluid inside the body . if you watch body building they talk a lot about "water retention" how to dry them out is a science in it self & im not going to get into that.

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

well i heard about people doing this to game cocks so i was just wondering if it'll work on dogs. Of course water is very important for every living thing. But giving your dog a bucket of water is no good b4 a run.:dogdrink:

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

BB you are on the money with your reply! The problem is all the backward ass people who use outdated keeps and outdated terminology. If you were to buy a $300,000 Lamborghini would you run it hard on low coolants?....HELL NO! It's about the subcuntaneous water below the skin to get a dog as light as possible...nothing more nothing LESS!

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

I hear you can use dex whats yall opinion on using this

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

LMAO the truth is a lot of people have their own ideal about why .. and a lot of them are wrong . if you work a dog hard long enough yes it will dry out its your job figure out where to go next .. all this stuff is just like talking about the peak the truth is that these kinds of things will always be the difference between the internet dogmen and the real deal .. you can never read enough to figure it out lol .. by the way any one that would talk about these things is wrong in doing so trade secrets people these things should be kept and passed from friend to friend only not posted so that some dipshit can read it and a year later regurgitate it for the next person to make himself feel like a big shot .

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

well thank god not all dogmen are like you ^ and some are ever so kind to help others out. and if you can never read enough to figure it out, what you so worried about people telling "secrets"

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

worried lol

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

nobody gave any "secret" away WP. just information that will keep a dip shit from killing there dog.

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

dex can help with water retention. Don't stop giving your dog water thoughout the keep that's dumb.

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

Very 'EDUCATIONAL';-)

Funny how som folkz dont understand even their own bodies... Let alone knowing how 2 shape 1:-) hehehe!

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

Although your comment doesn't seem to fit the description of "drying out" ,whatever that means, you bring up an interesting point. Funny things can happen when pulling at a show. Dog could all of a sudden want some water in middle of pull.

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

dry 'em out to much, and you might go home with a w but you'll have your charge in a bag, too. (referring historically to dog matching)

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

i heard it all now

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

hey bro i can tell ur kew to this !! if you dont talk to a old timer or someone with at least 15 years with this sport ur failing ur dogs big time !! if their ready to die for you at least you can do is make sure you did everything possiable to have your dog at 100% for his comp.if you dont ur gonna need a black plasticbag evertime !!! what DO you know abt workin a dog ???

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

thats right bro

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

you have to learn how to dry a dog natrail outher wise hes not gnna be 100%

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

if you know the correct weight for the dog you are working and also happen to know how to condition, you dont need to dry any dog out. that is just stupid IMO. i am fortunate to have a mentor that has been working dogs for 25 years and has a great track record. he doesnt believe in it, and doesnt do anything fancy just hard work, dedication, and a good dog is all you need to be competitive in this sport. the only time i would even consider using dex or reduce water intake would be for a confirmation show when it wont end up killing your dog or causing him/her to lose.

 

Re: conditioning a dog "drying out method"

drying out is for looks.to show off muscle definition.body builders do it boxers dont.Like jtc said if u know correct weight and condition properly u good and ur dog good the rest is up to him
