Any Q

A six-month-old dog might be capable of taking longer walks or even short jogs (if your vet helps you determine he's in good overall health and up for it), for example, but long hikes over rough terrain or strenuous agility classes are still potentially dangerous.


How far should a six month puppy walk?

How long should you walk a puppy? This exercise shouldn't be marching round the countryside or the local roads on a lead though. In fact, when it comes to continuous puppy walking a good rule of thumb is that puppies should have no more than 5 minutes of exercise for each month of age, two times a day.

Is a 5 mile walk too much for a dog?

There's really no limit to how far you walk your dog as long as they're comfortable. For some dogs, that's around the block. For others, it's ten miles. Just remember to build distance and stamina gradually over time.
