10 Lb chain

    I work my dogs out by taking them running with 10lb chains around their necks. Im eventually going to add two and progress to three if I see they can handle it. What do you think?

    I think your going to ruin your dogs necks. It isn't a good idea. You should look into a weighted harnes or a pulling rig. putting chains on your dogs necks isn't a healthy way to do training.
     
  3. good one.. the harness is the best way and they dont really need to run..... taking them to the nearest park with bleachers is great.. they really muscle up and get so thick with them bleachers .. then a nice sprint by getting very long lead .. and tossing frisbee makes them jump and really build up the hindquarters my papadawg looked like a sack a potatoes with nylon pulled over it.. man what a beautiful specimen .. feed well and dont hang wieght on the dog neck ok

    You can also buy weighted vests to go with the weighted collars. There are so many other ways to exercise your dogs, keep on reading.
     
  9. The chain on a Bulldog has only 1 sense: He cant destroy the chain,he stays on this place and so he is save:Thats it. If you wanna work your dog move your @ss.Regards.

    Good exercise and good food should be sufficient. Genetics will handle the rest. (Or is that vice versa?)

    Add 2 or 3 more? That's about 30 pounds on your dogs neck. You try and work out with 30+ pounds of chain dangling from your neck. It does nothing- Save ruin your dog. Plenty of handwalking, swimming, and other effective methods of exercise are more than enough.

    Have any of you tried one of those working/pulling harnesses from still water kennels.

    Ha that is funny. I can't stop laughing. I can see it now gold plated logging chains on their necks. It is all good because it is easier to hide the bodies when they come with self weighted chains on them. Gloup. right into the river.

    a weighted harness or a light weighted collar,,,not a 10 pound chain around the neck,,, break the dog down,,,,,I had someone one time ask me if having a heavy chain like that would make they're head bigger,,,,i like to never stopped laughing,,,,it would have been different if the guy was a kid but he was in his early 20's,,, and i regretfully info'ed that a weighted chain had nothing to do with head size,,,,genetics,,,

    Now that is funny. LOL make his head bigger. thats too much. I would have to run with it for a while first then break it to him. lol Tell ya and if you stick you finger in his poop hole and lift his tail up and down his chest will swell up too.

    i couldn't run with it,,,,, it took me by surprize and i couldn't stop laughing,,, that sh1t was too funny,,,i haven't ever heard some sh1t like that,,,but it shows how uneducated some really are and how ppl do some stupid sh1t for something they know nothing about,,,and wonder why so many dogs end up broke down with 30 pounds of chain around they're neck
