| walking your puppy Hi! I have a 9 week old puppy that is just full of energy! Anyway, I know at a minimum I need to wait until he receives all of his shots/vaccinations until I can start wallking him. But, I just wanted to get some feedback on when everyone began walking their yorkies? I would like to introduce walking to him sooner rather than later so that he can burn off some energy, get used to walking/leash, and get some good exercise outside. any suggestions? |

| We have a porch, stairs and a sidewalk out front of our house. I have occasionally taken my younger dogs for a walk around the porch on a leash, down the stairs, and in front of our house. I know that isn't the best thing to do before all the shots, but I also understand the need to burn off a little energy. I don't know of any really good answer to this....maybe someone else here has a suggestion.

| I think you can take your puppy anywhere that is clean.... I think the old rule is for dog parks, parks, where unknown dogs use the facilities. I see no reason to keep them confined to the house, but stay away from big dogs and doggie areas. I took Rusty out as a pup before his shots were over, never had a problem.

| I took mine starting at 6 weeks old when I got him. He always stays on the sidewalk and I have had no problems. |
