| I've been taking Diva everywhere she can possibly go, since she was a young pup. The more varied the enviroments, the better. We've been down to the Amtrak station so she can hear the trains coming and going, down to the harbor to see and hear the big ships, walks thru the National Park to see different people, hikers, bicyclists, joggers, AND wildlife! My husband is a DJ, so we've even visited the bars! Now there's a place to see some real weirdos, lol! Don't force any situation on your puppy though. If puppy seems frightened by a loud
noise or something as silly as a fire hydrant, calmly reassure and let pup investigate a bit. When the perceived "threat" has passed, praise the pup and walk on. Remember your pup is very young, so don't overdo the walks or hikes!
Serious skeletal damage can result from over-exercise. Keep it short and simple. Just looking around at all the "new" things in her life will be enough of a workout! Best wishes to all of you! |
