I jog with my 6 month old puppy every day. When I try taking my 2 1/2 month old pup jogging she acts afraid. What can I do?

Full Question:
Hi Ed, I've just bought the video Your puppy 8 weeks to 8 months. Let me tell you that I have a 6 year old bitch, I jog with her every morning, last morning I tried to do the same thing with my 2.5 months old puppy, I took both dogs for jogging but the puppy seems to be afraid in the park so he's screaming all the time, if he hears another dog barking he runs away like looking for his home should I keep on taking my puppy for jogging or should I wait until he is older?

Thanks for your help

Ed Ed's Answer:
What you are doing is 100% wrong. You are going to destroy your puppy’s hips. Puppies should NEVER jog - not ever. Their bones are too soft. If you had bought these pups from me and sent me this email I would have cancelled your guarantee on the pups. Pups should not be taken jogging until they are 12 to 13 months old.
