walks

Question
I am now able to take my 3 month old puppy for walks and i was just wondering how many times a day i should walk her? Thanks.

Answer
There is no "should" to walking a dog. Puppies shouldn't be on a heavy exercise routine until their growth plates have closed, but after that, it is whatever feels good to you, as long as you build the dog's stamina up gradually.

Years ago, when we were really into walking, one of my dogs was walked twice a day, for a total of five miles/day. He went with me after lunch for a walk around one of our local lakes, and after supper, he went with my husband around the neighborhood.

For now, one or two short walks a day should be sufficient for your puppy.
