I'm lucky as I'm in Cornwall and have plenty of places to just let them run. I have 3 large dogs (and one terrier) and just take them somewhere like the coast path and let then wear themselves out. Do the little fucker later as she just bites the ankles of the others and is nearly 13 so can't do massive miles.
Seems like you have your hands full but making progress.

I bought this from eBay, turned up it has had very little use, maybe a few miles at most. The front mech was top pull and replaced with a NOS matching LX bottom pull to utilise the pully wheel. Brakes where v brakes that touched the tyre when squeezed so bought some NOS cantilevers. Stem replaced with NOS ITM and some Simworks getaround bar. I still have the originals. Saddle was damaged in storage so replaced with a b17.
Impeccable condition with the only noteworthy thing being a paint run or rub? Guess it happened when the paint was wet?
19" CTC seat
23" top
So unfortunately too big for me...£500 to me plus postage.

They help to an extent at the start but have issues.
They don't account for non straight edges where you need to lift the blade (anything other than a nakiri or very flat cleavers etc)
They don't account for a difference in blade thickness. Look at a blades with a strong distal taper like blacksmiths from the Sanjo region or most western handmade blades.
They don't account for blade height. If I'm happy with the angle on my 110mm tall Moritaka cleaver, my 150mm petty would fail even sharpening to achieve the same results on all of the above points.
