BrianSteven72 369 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 not too far when they start lying down or whining they have had enough Quote Link to post
littlefish 598 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 At this age he will not need much walking at all......but he will need as much socialisation as you can expose him to like meeting other people and dogs in calmness, seeing traffic, hearing noises etc. plus a few minutes several times a day of training/interacting/learning maners with you to get his education off to a good start. 2 Quote Link to post

skycat 6,174 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Pups don't necessarily whine because they are tired. They may whine through stress, confusion. A young pup automatically feels vulnerable away from the 'nest', to the familiar smells and sounds of their home. I usually walk young pups no more than a couple of hundred yards to my local park: I'm lucky to have one so close to me, but if I didn't have a place where I could socialised a young pup like this, I'd make sure to drive to a place. I've often carried pups to the park on their very first outing: that way they can take in all the new sounds and smells from the security of my arms. Once there, I let them run around under close supervision, especially when it comes to other dogs around. I won't let a pup go near another dog unless I absolutely know that dog is safe with pups, and if I see a strange dog approaching unsupervised I pick the pup up: better not to risk a frightening confrontation with a dog that may not be friendly than risk the pup getting bitten or bowled over. That sort of incident can mess them up for life. 3 Quote Link to post
