Question
How far should I be walking my 10 week old puppy?
Answer
I do very few actual "walks" with young puppies. By that I mean I don't walk around neighborhoods on leash for a number of reasons. I don't want my puppy to have a bad experience with a loose dog or
some other unforeseen event that may permanently leave a negative association with the puppy.
I also don't want the puppy to practice pulling on the leash. I do lots of strolling around with
the puppy dragging a leash in a safe area that I have reasonable control over. I use the early months to build my foundation for future training by playing games like restrained recalls and engagement.
If you haven't watched Raising Your Puppy with Michael Ellis I highly recommend it, it's almost 7 hours of information that meshes well with the way we do things here at Leerburg.
