We will make do with roller-blading, scootering and the bike until she fully mature, then we may see if my hubby can weld me my own dog sulky (I can't afford one of the ready made ones, much as I wish I could--maybe if I sell lots and lots and lots of crocheted dolls . . .) Thanks for the help everyone. I don't know what I would do without this forum.

I would find some other ways to expend the energy. Maybe find some fun games and just let the little dog be a puppy for awhile. Remember all dogs mature at different levels, go at your dogs speed. Be consistent, loving, and get it our around different situations, (I personally wouldn't get my puppy around other dogs yet.) 17-1/2 weeks is still very young. Remember you can overwhelm a young puppy and if they don't like training or working its hard to get them back into it. These are just my thoughts, I am not a professional dog trainer or handler. Just learned from past mistakes. I love puppies! You are blessed to have one. May God bless your training efforts. sharon Sharon Empson
