LMAO Do you know I acctually provide that service to clients who do not have the heart or the know how to put a dog on a diet. And I call it fat camp! :rofl:
I do not have the time to work the dogs really, Most of it comes from just working them in sports like Agility and Schutzhund. They do it several times a week and with proper feeding it just happens. I could have more definition if I worked them harder like with a flirt pole. Dixie got buff from being put on a heavier chain set up and Justice runs like a nut in her dog run all day. Justice went from being a fat couch dog to doing Obed and living in a kennel set up. She paces all day long (so do all the Caragan dogs) and conditions herself. I actually have a hard time keeping weight on her and if I do not watch it her spin will start to show. She eats 5 cups of food a day with added fat and she is still railed out!
When you all say "after some work" what kind of work are you doing with your dogs to get them in top condition? I've never had a fat dog or overweight because I am active so my dogs always have been. Now with Bella I just plan on doing alot of walking and jogging with her. I don't have a place to hang a spring pole so that's out of the question..........By the way....All your dogs look GREAT!!!
LOL I can finally tell Dakota he's an APBT? I swear, he's been trying to be one. Starting to become a little DA, he's trying too hard.
Everyone's dogs look great! Beautiful, great job!
With Dakota we go out and play on the flirt pole, tug-o-war, walks, bike rides, weight pulling, sprint and oval racing, and dock jumping. Swimming is great.
thanks, shes rather easy to work, she will do any workout you want.
and all you have to do is sit and watch...
she reminds you when its work time by nudging your chair. lol. very night at around this time she lets you know! we just finished some runnin on the jenny. shes asking for round 2 already :S
but I will say this... she LOVES food lol. she gets fat easy too.

lol thank you for the compliment. I would love to give him credit but I cant call him something that isnt proven. He is a great animal though couldnt of asked for a better one. Boy loves to work.
These dogs look so great! I can't wait to get Loki into shape...he's not a fatty right now he's a skinny! I'm trying to find a good diet for him that'll accommodate more conditioning and put just a small bit more weight on.
I just switched him to TOTW for dry food when he turned 1 so idk if I should change his food again. I want to see if he poops any better when I just stick with the buffalo formula.
I was thinking of other supplements or a different brand of canned food that would help... I was looking at those satin balls but just a toned down version...
and hour a day is all it takes. You got a bike now right? I will have this dog looking even better next conditioning cycle cuz instead of straight cardio we are doing weights and strength to get him to really tighten up good.
I work days, the Mrs works nights..I need a baby sitter for that hour a day...
I usually sneak in some time for a jog but its not too often....I can sneak 30 mins outside lol....But now that the weather is nicer, I will try to sneak about 20-30 mins in of road work. As long as the mom in law is ok with it lol..
these are all really amazing
everyone of these dogs are just beautiful.
i need some tips on conditioning a stubborn dog for a lack of a better word. what i mean by stubborn is i built her a pretty nice spring pole and she does not show the least bit of interest in it. ( i actually have 2) im pretty cash broke so i don't have money to buy a treadmill or to buy supply's to make a home made one. all my girl loves to do is walk/run play a little fetch (although she gets over it fairly quick) and she likes to play tag with my other dogs. i have a pool she could swim in but shes not a fan of swimming she loves water just not swimming. she just chills on the steps of the pool. And i dont want to force her to swim and make her hate the pool. so any other things i can do to get a well condition dog like all of your pups? or maybe way to help her like swimming (
