Any of you all put 4-wheeler time on your hounds??

I did this a ton with coon hounds when trialing them, just gave it a shot tonight with a couple I am getting ready to put in some trials.

I just hook them on the outside of the back rack with a full length lead. These two were smart enough I did not have to take them one a time to get used to it.

I rolled them around the yard for 2.5 miles at between 8 and 11 mph. Rests every half mile, I think it is a nice way to keep them hard.
Anyone else use this to help out?

I know hard running and ground time CAN'T be replaced, but some nights I have events with my kids so I got to do all I can!

Thinking about building a little system for my quad with a 2x4 and some U bolts to attach the leads to?

Good running to all!

Never thought of trying that, but have heard of guys using treadmills a lot.

Saw guys in Detroit do that with pit bulls. I have two house hounds let run my yard every day for hours . There rock hard .

I do it I just let them run in front of the atv. I saw on Yukon men the guy ran his sled dogs with a atv in the summer time to keep them in shape for winter.

I have done this for years out the window of my car my fastest can run 23 mph (daytona)

Had them pull me on rollarblades, on my bike with a shuvel handel mounted to thr frameso the rope dont get in the tire.

I have also hooked a 5 dog tie out to a sled and had them pull me down the road in the winter

with my champion coon hound leading the pack
Looked like beagle sled hounds
My old elmer beagle used to love a boddy harness cause he thought is was time to bull dumbells for hot dogs he could pull 60 pound accross a city lot
