I had been walking my dog a mile to 2 miles per day. I recently borrowed one of these so I could start using my bike and will soon order one of my own:

I have been taking the dog out for a couple mile run first thing in the morning, then walking later for a mile or two. I think the walk is still necessary for bonding purposes and for my own exercise. And after burning off the excess energy on the bike ride, the dog is much more receptive to training. I think anyone with a high energy lab should consider this.
