| It may be an idea to increase your time period of walks by say 10mins each week, but with a very young pup I wouldnt do more than 2 walks of 40 mins per walk until he is over the twelve mth stage. Bones are still developing and prone to damage. Althought it is hard to get the happy medium, a dogs development is individual, some can sustain more than others, any signs of stiffness in the legs and youve over done it! A 5min gallop in a field (or such) helps develop their chest, but I wouldnt over do it. |
