At what age did you start walking your puppies and for how long? Loki is 14 weeks now and I'd like to start taking him out for short walks, if its not too early.

I wanna say Bella was about 3 1/2 months old when we started walking her. Before that we would just hook a leash on her and let her trot up and down our sidewalk for exercise and socialization.

amazing how hard it is to remember this kinda stuff!!! I think it was around 4months or so...just don't expect to get too far in the beginning!

Angel is three months and i've taken her out to the park and on short walks for the last 2 weeks. She does really good on the leash.

the earlier the better. Just not long distances. Just trying to get them used to the leash is the most important part.

I guess it was about 3-4 mo, but only really short ones

I have been taking Daisy for a couple weeks now. Nothing too long, but she loves them. She is only 9 weeks old. I let her get used to her leash for a few days first, but I did the same thing for Chaucer when he was a pup also.

I didn't start walking Tala until about 6 months old. I didn't want to over exert her because she wrestles all day with Odie, plus obedience training on top of that.

I started walking Odie around 3 months though, because he's light boned and not a muscular breed.

How do you get them used to the leash? Right now, Loki just wants to clamp down and tug.

How do you get them used to the leash? Right now, Loki just wants to clamp down and tug.

I feed them their meals while they're out on their walk, each time a little further from home, until they are no longer scared of going out on walks.

They get the picture pretty quick that way.

I will probably start working my EB once he gets all his shots from the Vet (he will be 3 months on 4/23) so maybe sometime in May I will begin walking him

i started walking Biz at about 7 weeks

let him where the leash around the house for a few days first to get him used to it

he does well on it now
