How Much To Walk

[Falling_dawn]

Ok Im not sure if my dog is still a puppy she is 5 months and 3 weeks we like our walks but now after reading alot of other threads I'm starting to think I walk her too much we go about 20 min walk 10 min to park have a break 10 min back but she is so energetic and I was going to start going for longer walks

she just is still bouncing off the walls when we get home

she alone 8 hours a day inside

how much exercise should she get? she is a Cavalier KC how much walking do others take there puppies for?

Our pup is nearly 4 months old and we have an older dog who we take together for walks but we take them both in the wagon, we only allow our pup to walk and sometimes run for approximately 10 minutes, either me or OH will pick him up or walk back to the car to his water bowl to sit and rest until the others come back from their walk.

He does cry and crack the wobblies because our older dog gets a run for an 1-1 & a half but we have been told by our vet that too much excercise for pups under 9-12 months can cause problems with their bone developement later on.

My Aussie Shepherd puppy is 5 months and 3 weeks old too. I walk him about the same....10 minutes to the park, he runs around and chases a frisbee for a while and we do some obedience training, then walk home again.

Today we went for a leisurely 45 minute stroll and that seemed to tire him out more than the park does. We didn't walk fast....I had him in his Sporn harness, cos he pulls a lot.....and I just let him sniff everything and have a good time on the walk and the only obedience I expected was to sit at kerbs and not yank my arm off. He was a very good boy and we both enjoyed the walk.
