What time to walk puppy?

[nottodaynoway]

I'm getting up at 6am and the intention was that would be dog walk time.

Pup can only do 15min at the moment so is it ok to walk before breakfast when she's not eaten since 5pm the night before? Or should I feed then walk at 7?

Id walk before breakfast, weve got a 13 month old and I get up and go straight out, brekkie on return, on the odd occasion hes eaten first hes tended to be sick, I guess its the same as us exercising on a full tummy !

Walk before breakfast but if it’s really warm ditch the walk and just do training, mental stimulation with tire then more then physical

She's fine to walk before breakfast - especially at the moment!

I walk before breakfast and if I am training in the evening (not today!) I feed after I've finished. Hungry dog = focus 🤣

Walk before breakfast, then time inside playing and/or in bursts in shade in garden/outside space.

Puppy pic, please, OP!!

I think it depends on the dog. Our pup used to get hunger pukes in the morning and that was with a much later dinner time. We feed then walk but with a gap between breakfast and the walk

We always do breakfast first, but it's totally personal choice and depends how much time you can leave between them eating and going out, IMO.

DH feeds our beagle at 6am but he doesn't get walked until I take him at about 9am (even as late as 10-11am some days) so there's a decent enough gap in between. He then gets lunch around 1.30pm and dinner (a handful of biscuits) before bed to avoid the hunger pukes.

My dog eats after his walk. His choice.
today we haven’t walked. We will in a bit.
he ate breakfast at 3pm 😂

Walk before breakfast.

My dog normally wakes at around 5/5.30 seemingly starving but during this warmer weather she's happy to hold off breakfast and we've been going out just after 5.30 - never normally out walking at that early but she loves it.

Give your puppy a little time to chill between getting back from the walk and eating as some breeds can suffer from 'bloat' if fed too soon after a walk; that really mainly applies to deep chested breeds but as you don't say what breed your puppy is I thought I'd just mention it.

Ok before breakfast it is then!

That is on a normal non heatwave kind of a day.

At the moment I have to drive her somewhere as she refuses to walk from the house for some reason. Just plants down!

I feed at 6.15 a.m. then walk an hour later.

That's because home is her secure place and the outside world is unknown.
Be patient with her, there's no need to rush, they aren't puppies for long and when's she confident and happy she'll be dragging you out of the door!
