Sorry if this subject has been beaten to death, but I tried the search function, and finally gave up on what I was looking for. I'm gonna beat the subject a little more.
I know that pups under a year old shouldn't run/jog for exercise (other than the running they do on their own during play), but what about after a year old? Kodee turned 1 a couple of weeks ago, and tonight while we were out, we did a small amount of jogging (I am out o' shape!) in our pasture out back. (I mowed a double-wide path all the way around our 15 acres so we could have our own "walking trails"). Anyway, I am trying to increase his exercise a little, as he is a housedog, and most of our walks are fairly short in the summertime, as the heat index has been around 105 here lately. (Today was a frosty 82 degrees, and we didn't jog until about 8:30p.m.)
Is jogging on grass ok at 12 months? If so, how much? If not, when will it be?
I'd like to start jogging for my own benefit, and if I can take Kodee, that would kill 2 birds w/one stone, so to speak.
TIA!
