Running rabbits in the spring

Post by k5blazer »

Do you all run you dogs in the spring when the females are in heat and have little ones? Just wondering if I should give my dogs a break for a month or so or keep running them. Just wondering how you all do it thanks.

Run em! Running little rabbits that are twisting and turning in a smaller area can teach a dog to gear down and focus. It is a training method that I love to use.

I run em all year round. I like to test them and see how they handle the heat. Run near water and give your dogs breaks. Also like above, the young rabbits will teach dogs to gear down!!!
