Vey good speed & commitment by this Rottweiler, but also very nice work by the helper under difficult conditions. Helper not only absorbed the momentum well, but also landed the dog safely back onto the ground. The latter is just as important as absorbing the momentum if there is to be a safe & injury free catch.

FOCUSING ON PUPPIES AND BONE GROWTH:

Today we bring you the explanation of why we shouldn't perform intense physical exercise with puppies until 18 months and even up to 24 months of age.
Puppy growth rates vary greatly by size. It's important to adapt diet and exercise to your puppies' specific requirements to ensure ideal skeletal development. Endocondral ossification (the process during which cartilage turns into bone) differs according to the adult size of your puppy, with closed growth plates (complete ossification has occurred) between 3 months in toy breeds and 24 months in large breeds (see photos).
There are many factors affecting growth rate and maturity age. For example, males mature more slowly than females. There are variations in periods of 'fast growth' ranging from birth to 11 weeks in small dogs and toys. Large breeds range from birth to 20 weeks (Hawthorne et al 2004). Excessive exercise and inadequate nutrition during these periods can lead to conformation and malformation of bones, which can lead to osteoarthritis development and degenerative joint disease.
Recommended exercise levels for puppies are 1 minute for each week of their life, twice a day. This should be LOW IMPACT at a steady pace. Puppies shouldn’t be fetching at high speeds, or jumping on/off furniture or in/out of vehicles.
If your goal is to train to compete for flyball or agility (for example), it is recommended to AVOID any jump training until full ossification has occurred.
This is why breeders tell new owners to not to rush certain physical activities with your pups. Instead, focus working on other things with them. Work their minds, smell, desensitizing, and socialization, etc.
After going through the development months and developing the corresponding plates, consult your veterinarian to determine if your dog is 100% ready for sport.

Socialisation.
Play is NOT socialisation. Play is a separate and important skill.....but it isn't socialisation.
What is socialisation ?..... Calmness and acceptance.
What it isn't......over excited, scared, hyper, wary behaviour or PLAY.

I know that seems like a big statement to make for some people but society has some strange ideas of what socialisation is.

That doesn't mean dogs and puppies shouldn't play, it simply means one of the FIRST things they need to learn in life is be calm and accepting of dogs in general....then play can be added as a separate skill.

Calmness and acceptance IS socialisation.
Play is play.
Two completely separate things.

Dogs and puppies are a very small part of having a socialised dog. An important small part... but a very small part in a much bigger picture.
The word socialisation seems to be associated with play and that is a big issue with new puppy guardians/owners.

How you let other dogs meet yours and how your dog meets other dogs forms patterns of behaviour.
The more these dogs have over excited, over aroused and hyper behaviour around other dogs...........the more they understand this IS exactly how to meet dogs....and that is really problematic for many dogs.

True socialisation is acceptance and calmness in ALL the world has to offer.
Everything you encounter in everyday life...is exactly what you need to expose your dogs to.

Little and often
Positively and calmly......and you are well on your way to a well socialised puppy or dog.

One of the best lessons you can teach your puppy or dog is they do NOT need to interact with others.
They don't need to go to that hyper excited behaviour when other dogs are near.

They can be calm, assess the situation and choose to play and interact if they wish.....

That is true socialisation.
