Walking my English Bulldog

Question
I just wanted to ask how much I should be walking my 5 month old English Bulldog. She loves to walk, but I'm afraid I don't know the limit and some days she can go forever, while others she seems to get tired very quickly. What's recommended?

Answer
This all depends upon where you're walking, either a paved walk or a grassy walk. She will tire quicker on pavement. She will also tire quicker if it's warm out.

Walking on pavement all the time isn't good for joints in a puppy. See if you can split the time with a park or field.

You know your dog. On days you know she's apt to tire quickly, just make the walk shorter. If it's cool and she's feeling good, plan for a longer walk.  The key is not letting the puppy become completely exhausted.
