How Far should I walk my puppy?

 
This is a guideline. This helps you understand how much endurance a puppy has and also helps with keeping it slow as to not injure your pup.

8 to 12 weeks of age.
·  50-200 feet at a time.
·  Break up with sniffing in noodling around.
·  Formal heeling/leash walking training limited to 2 minutes.

12 to 16 weeks of age.
·  Gradually increase duration and length of walks probably going to be between 100 to 200 ft by the time the puppy is 16 weeks old.
·  Let the puppy volunteer to keep going and stop if he shows reluctance to go further.
·  Keep formal training under 2 minutes per session.

4-6 months of age.
·  Gradually increase duration in Lengths of walks probably going to be between 200 - 400 ft at a time by the time the puppy is 6 months old.
·  Let the puppy volunteer to keep going and stop if he shows reluctance to go further.
·  Keep formal training under 2 minutes per session.

6-12 months of age.
·  Walks on Pavement should be kept short but duration of walks on dirt or turf can be increased and more hiking type activities can be introduced.
·  Again, best to keep doing these walks as sniff and strolls but you can increase sustained walking to up to 20 to 30 minutes on a relatively level soft surface by the time the puppy is a year old if the puppy volunteers to go that far.
