Running with cockers

<< < (3/3)

PennyB:
Dogs will run and run if you let them but there's also a lot to be said about stimulating their brains too if its about wearing them out - its not about them not being up for carrying on running the next day its the damage to growing bones/growth plates that's the issue. its up to us to not allow them to run and run sometimes just as we wouldn't allow young children to compete in certain sports and why there are versions of them for youngsters untul their bones have developed. When mine were under a year old I would occasionally take them on walks suitable for adult dogs and didn't adhere to the 5 minute rule I also didn't over exercise them
