I have a 12 week old water dog puppy who will grow to about retriever size. Our house has (carpeted) stairs, and Ennpup has somehow figured out how to climb up and down without me teaching him.
He's getting bigger every day and will soon be too big for me to carry him. My question is, how bad is it really to just leave him to it? I'm worried about his joints as the breed is prone to hip dysplasia, but on the other hand, Ennpup sleeps upstairs and he's getting heavy!
I'm torn between trying to protect him and thinking he'll be alright... Advice seems to be conflicting. Thoughts?
