I have to agree with Jack on this, the flirt pole sessions I give my dog give him a great cardio workout. The session is 10 minutes, but the method allows for him to go all out every time. This is how it goes,

First round
60 sec work
60 sec rest

Second round
45 sec work

Third round
30 sec work
30 sec rest
30 sec work

30 sec work

Fourth round
15 sec work

I got this from a strength and conditioning boxing trainer, I personally used it for my training. By the fourth round he is completely exhausted, I follow it by a 30 min cool down walk. During the rest periods I have him walking next to me.
