We take Jacob on probably 4 walks a day totalling 2-4 miles. He would go all day if we let him. It really messed him up early in the week when it rained. He wouldn't have anything to do with it. Our other 2 dogs had no problem walking in the rain. (Lab/shepard mix and Sheltie) I'll be anxious to see how things play out this summer. The heat will be a factor I'm sure.

As far as training goes....Jacob really isn't much of a "puller" on the leash although he does have his moments. When he does pull we just stop and wait until he stops pulling, when he does we say "let's go" and continue the walk. It's working really well.
