At the boarding facility where I work, we offer a Puppy Kindergarten class for dogs 8-18 weeks of age and we DO teach loose leash walking in class.on't wait until he's had his shots to socialize him, that would be too late. Take him to friends houses that have dogs, to a training class or wherever you know there are friendly, healthy, vaccinated dogs. I started walking my dog at 10 weeks old and he's suffered no ill effects. Zackintosh CJ answered on 1/10/09.
Keeping a balance. Labrador puppy exercise is not something you should be worrying about. Just try and keep a balance. If you have been to visit a friend with your five month old pup and their dog has played for half an hour in the garden with yours, your dog does not need a walk as well.Walking is only one form of exercise and is no more valuable or important than games or training exercises. It is the total exercise that counts.ey, so I have a 5 â 6 month old black lab/ blue heeler mix. We walk her 3 times a day, the walks are usually 20 min each depending on how often she stops to smell everything around her, Shes 35 pounds. we have to go up and down 4 flights of stairs to go for these walks.
