Hello I would condition Bruno for running just like you would a person. Start slowing (1 mile or less/day) and then increase weekly. His muscles and cardiovascular system needs to condition slowly just like humans need to condition slowly. I would use the same training plan that a beginner runner would use and you should be fine. Best wishes to you and Bruno. Thanks for using Pet Coach!
