How old does your puppy have to be before you can walk him?

Answer 1

Not reccommended to walk near other dogs until the puppy as received all of its vaccines.

"You can take a puppy as early as 8 weeks old on a walk- but if you do, make the walks short. Puppies that young need a ton of sleep and don't spend a lot of time doing much else besides the obvious of eating, sleeping, and going potty. As the puppy gets older, add more time onto the walk."

"Also you have to make him used to the collar, so don't force it, carry its toys or some dog cookies, so he would be more interested. For the first days, maybe it will sit down and refuse to walk, so try to make him notice who's leading.

You have to be very patience.But they are very cute, also don't forget to pet him and give him a cookie when it pees and poo. So it would be very pleased to pee and poo outside the house and also to take a walk"

Answer 2

The rule of thumb is to walk a dog for around 5 minutes per 4 weeks of its age. So a 12-week-old pup may only need around 15 minutes of exercise, while a 20-week-old may be happier with 25 or so minutes of exercise. However, these are only rough guidelines, as it also depends on how much playing your puppy gets at home. If you are playing with your puppy a lot, then you may need less exercise. And bear in mind that if your puppy seems to be lagging behind you and you need to drag it on its lead, then it is getting too tired. Too much walking can damage its bone growth - so be careful!
