Reagan is 13 weeks old now....might be 14 actually.....and I didn't think she would ever take a walk. As soon as we ventured a step or two off the property line in the neighborhood...she put the front brakes on. An idea....what if I carried her down the street then took a walk. Well, now she is a walking machine. 15 min or so walks 3 times a day for last 3 days or so. She seems to love it and her wild/crazy behavior at home has subsided quite a bit. Cesar says you need to give dogs plenty of exercise to give the dog an outlet for its energy. Seems to work.

Then I read that walks should be avoided until ALL shots are done. (Reagan has one more round in 3 weeks.) Am I walking her too far for a puppy? Should Innot be walking her at all yet? She really does seem to take to it. She doesn't put the brakes on at all...except when I changed the route once. I think she thought I was going the wrong way. She already knows our house in the neighborhood!
