Doyle W. Banks Webboard User Reg: 10-13-2002 Posts: 68 Loc: Offline	I have a 9 1/2 week old GS puppy that has a VERY high level of energy. I'm taking him out several times a day based on the good advice from this Board. QUESTION: In addition to tugs, ball on string, etc., etc., I'm taking on him walks with a flexi leash several times a day. Is there a danger in going too far at this age (affecting joints later) or do you think its's OK to go until he poops out?? We do not go fast and I let him sniff, but essentially keep up with me.

I have been working with him on sit, down and come. Wow - he's doing it! I'm using some treats which sure get his attention. Also, your advise earlier about more exercise is working! This guy has been much less hyper inside after doing the walks. I must admit - they are not hurting me either!! Doyle Doyle W. Banks
