How do you build up your dogs muscles?

Answer 1

I remember when they were fed live chickens for protein then had cinder blocks tied to them while being run with a four wheeler. My pit bulls growing up ate one can of food a day between the two of them and one cup of dry food. The mother exercised by jumping up and grabbing a hold of a rope that was hung from a tree branch. She would swing on that rope until she got bored.

Answer 2

There are many ways of building muscles in dogs.

Pulling for instance is a very good way of strengthening the chest and front half of the body. You use a harness and hang stuff behind the dog for it to pull. It might take a few tries to teach your dog to pull, and it should be taught as a command as to avoid the dog starting to pull when you're out walking.

Playing with a rope or a stick that you hold on to one end and getting the dog to pull the other by its teeth is another way. That mostly builds from behind front legs and backwards.

You can let your dog walk up stairs (but be sure to do this where you can use an elevator to get back down, as walking down stairs is not anatomically good for a dog). This also works out chest muscle.

Playing with other dogs that are about the same size is a really good workout for all of the body.
