| Long Walks/Exercise - what age to start?
Hi,
New to the board and new Rottweiler puppy owner here. My pup is coming up on 13 weeks, what a fun pup and a great barn dog! As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am more familiar with GSDs and am wondering what exercise is appropriate as they grow, for example 6mo, 8mo, 1yr? Right now he is doing 15-20min walk/free play and/or lots of play with a friends puppy at the barn where my wife works during the day. I always let pup set the pace during exercise.
The reason i ask is that my wife and I are avid horse people and loved taking our dogs on walk/trot trail rides (short ones with my German "show" GSD, lol). I know that Rottweilers develop more slowly and I want to make sure I take it slowly with him, so I was hoping to hear from some people and get general recommendations. Thanks! |
