Puppy Tales
Since 2 months before my vsg I have been walking at least 5 days a week 1-2 miles.
With 3 dogs I usually get out on the weekends but dont usually track my walks.
Tonight I decided to take my leash puller and use her to my advantage. We alternated walking and jogging. I admit she pulled me some. Definetly farther then I would have jogged on my own.
Here's to improving enough so that her tail isnt my view!
We don't have a dog (4 cats), but we take our neighbor's lab out for a walk one or two evenings a week, sometimes more. Our neighbor got her as a puppy to be a watch dog (and she is good at it), but she was raised with three little dogs, so Jill doesn't know she is a big dog. Taking her out is good for us, good for the dog, and good for neighbor. Our neighbor is in her 70's and has a hard time with Jill on a leash because she doesn't have much hand strength. So I totally get the "leash puller" type of dog. Don't worry, you won't be left lagging behind for long. I hear dogs are great training partners.

Cool! What kind of dog do you have? I have a golden (male) and a bouvier bernois (female) and when I walk them I literally can fly through the air as both of them can be pretty strong. I am glad they are trained to heel but if I let them run I will be lifted off the ground!!! LOL!!!

. She is a bit of a hand full. And a recent rescue of a golden/shepard(they say)mix. She is a dream to walk. But is attached to my daughter so really doesnt want to go with me.
We cant walk them together because the girls compete for head position.
So they get walked one at a time. No complaints though. It gets in exercise.
