Walkies!!!!!

[lorri]

Hi

Jarvis is 14 weeks now and we have just started taking him out for walks. We were soo excited to be out and about with him showin him off that we walked the hinde legs off him on the first day visiting everyone.

Can anyone give me any idea on how often he should be taken out and how long for ? :?

You must be careful not to over-exercise young puppies - short walks for socialising is all Jarvis needs at this stage so long hikes are out :wink:  Its a good idea to follow the 5 minute rule ie 5 minutes walking for every month of a puppies age. At 14 weeks, Jarvis should really only have around 15 minutes of formal exercise a day (in addition to the normal running about he will get playing in your garden).

About once or twice a day is enough but not too often as this will wear your dog out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try and take Evie (15 weeks) out a couple of times a day, to socialize her, but its quality not quantity at this stage thats important to me. When she needs to let of steam she takes herself of into the garden for a mad charge about :roll:
