ant Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys I've been told that I should limit the amount of exercise that I give my German Shepherd pup ? The advice varied from no exercise until 12 months old to - 5 minutes until 6 months and then up to 10 minutes a day until 12 months. Is this true or just an old wives tale? Thanks Ant Edited June 10, 2010 by ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I young pup should not have a lot of exercise on hard surface eg. concret ashfalt etc. Walking on grass or grass off lead is okay. No jumping off high things. All this is to protect the growth plates of the developing leg bones. Applies to any dog not only GSD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
