Say hello to Rogue !
We just started working together to help her shed 30 lbs .
This is from her first walk . She was really excited and led the charge staying between 6-8 feet out from me until we hit about .72 miles then she started to slow down and by the 1 mile point she was traveling next me the rest of the.43 back home .
When you start any dog , especially an 8 year old , back into exercise, you have to take it slow . Watch their breathing - are they breathing through their nose or their mouth, how is their gait , how much distance is closing between the start of the walk , the mid point and the end ? Just like us, dogs need to get backing to condition .
We are starting Rogue on a 3 days a week schedule - no more than 1.43 miles untul@her average pace of a walk drops down to between 23 -24 . We will then add a new incline and some distance .
Of course her person also needs to scale back on the peanut butter treats as well !!!
If you see us walking up high be sure and say hello !
