On the grand scheme of things all the conditioning tools are inanimate useless objects taking up space. The next part is whether the guy knows how to not only use that particular piece of equipment but also how it is best applied to the individual dog being worked.

Ch. (4XW) Mims/DTA's Charlie just about peaked himself on the chain. He would turn his 12' to 14' chain into a flying jenny. He made lap after lap at a blistering pace. Our job was to sit in the chain spot of the next dog and rub him and in turn Charlie put in the hard laps. We hand walked and pulled chains as well.

After each of the wins, "How did you work him?". "Hand walking is the only thing we took him off the chain for". An accurate statement but one that does not tell the whole truth.

Used correctly and fitted to the dog, all of them work exceptionally well.
