Eight week old puppies are not overweight. The little guy should stay with his mother for another month. You can't exercise him down to a certain weight.
Definitely not! Please don't even think of trying to over-exercise him, or of feeding him less. Puppies need proper nutrition and healthy rest periods. If you don't provide it, you ARE going to have an unhealthy adult. Ladymom, you're also exactly right about the puppy being too young to leave home. He really needs to stay with mom a bit longer.
