It's good for them! Obviously I wouldn't walk a dog who is not used to being walked long distances that far, but slowly condition them to it. But I think it's better to allow them to learn how to use their bodies, etc, then totally prevent it. I think more injury can occur with some kind of a freak accident if a dog has never been allowed to do certain things etc.
I agree Brit but both my girls came to me with bad hips.....they can't just be dogs
