Vets recommend 5 minutes per month of age, twice a day (so 25mins twice a day for your pup). However, my vet advised me last week that the odd longer walk with a variety of terrain (grass, mud, water) is ok too. Pavement pounding is seen as damaging for young pups as it puts too much stress on...

I had the same issue with our new pup, but we're all sorted now thankfully. We had our lurcher pup at 4mths old and started off just walking him around the block for half hour or so every day to get him used to the lead. A few weeks later, I took him out with our other dog who is a 3yr old...
