My best piece of training equipment was always a pickup truck and a nice smooth dirt road. The best roads of all were the packed sand in the vineyards, but any dirt road will do. I have had cops roll up on me a few times while conditioning bulldogs in this manner and other than wondering what I was doing late at night in a field, I never got hassled about working the dog. My pat excuse was that I had a blown out knee and this was the only way to work my dog as hard as I did when I ran with him before, but I never had to use it.
