how much walking ?
by bronson blue boy Tue Sep 02 2014, 20:13
How far should a 13 week pup be walked each time ? I don't want too over do it just been taking him a mile or 2 each time, also i just recently got bronson a new lead it's a 3 peaks brand and is choker style but gentle version that has an elasticy tension and i can honestly say its fantastic he walks superbly on it and i would highly recommend it , check it out...

The general rule is 5 mins per month of age, 2 or 3 times a day, so you should be ok with 2 or 3 15 min walks a day

The 5 minute rule only applies for the time actually spent on lead. Any off lead play doesn't count

Agree with Jstaff, off lead bouncing around isnt regulated and can be very good for growth
