Roffe is now four months old and tonight we are starting puppy class. How much exercise should I give him before class? Any ideas of things to bring other than treats? Any other advice you have for us would be great.
And I also have a question about number of walks per day. We walk Roffe five or six times a day, some of them pretty short and some of them longer. Total exercise per day would be about 40 minutes. Is this enough? Or is it too much? He is housetrained and does all his business outside. We take him out for a walk every four hours. I'm not sure how much bladder control he does have and how long he can wait. When can we start walking him every five hours? I guess it is pretty individual but generally speaking.. I don't want to rush him.
He is pretty vocal when it's time for food, especially in the morning. He acts like he haven't eaten for a week. We don't give him food until he stops barking but mornings can be pretty hectic and we don't always have that much time. Any ideas on how to get him to stop barking? I would also appreciate any advice to get him to stop barking at our cat.
Thanks in advance
