| I too would recc. biking. It's great exercise for them and you can change pace jsut enough to give them a really good workout. We are training for the AD and bike frequently. I find the ideal pace is when they are just to the point of transitioning from a trot (pace i guess it is called) to a run. As conditioning improves, the speed goes up before they break into a run. Right now, I can pace him at approx 8.5 MPH. Still need to gain 1MPH to get into the AD range.
Also, you may want to consider swimming. Very good workout as well. I tried to run my dog on my personal treadmill, but it didn't work out too well when we got up to speed. for conditioning, yo can try walking him on a treadmill at about 3-4MPH with as much incline as your treadmill can get. Mine can go up to 15 degrees.
