Now that is a novel idea. Can't you just run her behind a 4 wheeler during the day for a week and then take her to a hunt? Who wants to get out in this heat at night and hunt, especially with all of the mosquitos and spiders out now.

Yes, you can physically condition them behind a 4wheeler but the only way to get them in top hunting shape is to hunt them hard.
