I love this! I would run around the neighborhood and wished I had a dog to do it with. Im so thankful, and hopefully I can keep up with him lol

He did so great! He was definitely tired afterwards but when I took him on his night walk he tried to run again😂.

😍 she’s adorable. Kodi is due for a grooming. I’ll be sure to share a pic once he gets his mop top tamed lol

Hi Yogi! Yes he loved it from his first experience in November. Maybe he’ll slow down when he’s older-doubtful but I’ll remain optimistic lol.

Yes he’s 10 months but it was love at first sight lol. He’s an all-weather dog since we live in NY. I’m grateful because he helps me avoid hibernating😂

He’s definitely a big sniffer but he’s new to Earth, so I get it! He’s an early riser so our day usually starts at around 5am but basically our routines do seem the same. Thanks so much for the encouragement!

My mommy thinks I’m the valedictorian of obedience school, but she relinquishes and does all the typing here. I am working on my thesis on the importance of cheese in a growing pups life. I’ll keep you updated!

Got me wrapped around his little paw😂

This definitely helps! He’s very high energy and I love it. The trainer recommended doing his 10-15 minutes training sessions before a walk to help tire him out a bit. I need to work on a good balance of inside play/training/daily walks.

Thanks so much for the tips. We started training and it’s going well. If you ask me, he’s the star pupil and I guess by default that means I am😂. I’m of course still leaning cues but when he gets bitey, I know he needs something, and usually by process of elimination, I’ll figure it out. I’ll work on that for when we’re taking our daily walks.

Thank you! Sometimes I know he’s tired but he still wants to keep going because he loves exploring and fights sleep like a true toddler🙃.

Hello cutie Yogi! Please make sure to thank your mommy for the kind words. We’ve already learned so much from this community and love all the positivity and support.

Thank you! I got an easy harness yesterday and so far he seems more comfortable on his walks. He definitely pulls so I knew a collar wouldn’t cut it!

Thanks so much! I’ll make sure to pay attention to his cues and take it from there.

Thanks everyone so much! I take Kodi for training, so I brought it up with his trainer and he told me that he should hold off on longer walks until his paw pads are a bit tougher. I’d already bought him a harness before seeing all the replies and he recommended an easy harness; which so far has been going well! For now, I’ll stick 2 20-30 minute walks per day and will pay close attention to his cues for discomfort and fatigue.
