    She is 7 w now. is it too early to start any type of physical training. can anyone give me an idea of when to start, what to do and what should i feed her.

    hello, at 7 weeks pups are still babies and toilet training is enough at that age. just concentrate on building a bond with your pup and be patient,with him, got any pics ?

    7 weeks is far to young to be even thinking about conditioning, imo a pup should still be with its mother at 7w but never mind, let the pup be a pup.

    It's not too late to start dragging chains..... Or maybe you could try some Jenny work?

    Wait at least a year. I dont like doing too much with a dog younger than a year, and only start anything that can be called a workout after a year and a half.

    7w ,way too early to worry bout fittness of any kind just love em an like another said build a bond. Laugh at his rolly polly ass;) as for feed I think hi fat fur quick burning energy.plus protine for building.
    I start a lill earlier than a year for light training like flirt pole for excercise and prey drive.my gyp is 6 mo andloves it but still take it easy at this age but we keep going as long as she is interested

    Work on obedience and house training. Take it easy ! Just let her play with toys and chase them. You can play tug of war (with ur hand)but be gentle as her teeth r not strong yet. You can even get a piece of hide and let her chew on that. This will teach her to like it and will keep her drive up. I find that if you let a dog sit and do nothing sometimes it very hard to get them to work when they r grown even if they were fired up as Pups. Keep it simple and don't worry about soing any crazy exercises till she is over 8 months.

    hahah. i made a mistake its 7 weeks since i had her she turn 12 next week. brain freeze, my bad. must think im a dick trynna condition a baby...... thats crazy she couldnt even climb a step.

    Also i wasnt thinkin of hardcore w8 training more of exercises / games to get her used to those types of things.

    my sd card not loading will put piks up soon.

    @ jackay. i didnt want to grab a pup that young but it's actually more my mums dog, she couldnt resist. I tried to talk her out of it.....

    @ black poisin. no idea of the ped. was a backyard breeder. its not the way i wanted to get a dog but as i will be leavin home in next cppl year figured i better let my mum get wat she wants. Though now that we have her im pleased.

    Iv never had a small pup before so im wondering do all pups have big bellies? Her legs seem longer then a general staff but her belly is big.

    once again everybody sorry for my retardedness!
