    Default Tilly's first walk advice

    Hi everyone!

    Tilly can go out for her first work tomorrow! I am so excited I cant wait. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do and what not to do?

    Thanks!

    I would keep it short. 5 minutes of forced exercise (meaning leash walking) for every month of age.

    Put her leash on and let her drag it around the house, then gently pick up the other end. Do this till she doesn't fight the leash.
