Congratulations on your new puppy! Besides the unconditional affection a dog may bring, walking a long distance is a great way to exercise and get fresh air.
Two key elements determine when it's safe to take a puppy outside. The age, breed, and other aspects of your puppy will determine its activity demands.
When To Start Walking A Puppy
At What Age Can You Walk A Puppy?
Your puppy's first outdoor walks depend on its immunization status, not age. Avoid wondering when pups start walking.
How Much Exercise Does A Puppy Need?
If you’re wondering how much exercise should my puppy get, a general rule of thumb is to take your puppy’s age in months and then multiply it by five to work out how many minutes your puppy can walk for each session.
Breed Affect Their Exercise Needs?
Calculating puppy walks based on age and immunization status is important, but their ability to physically handle exercise, which is greatly influenced by breed, is what matters most.
How Far Should You Walk A Puppy?
A puppy can walk how far? The size, breed, and age of your puppy will determine the best walking distance. Energy isn't the same as walking far.
