Wow. I have a hard time getting mine to go twice around the block. What's your secret?

Lockjaw and Penny
Lockjaw can go like the energizer bunny. Penny- she's a different story. She like new areas. But once she's bored, she will stop and just lay down. Or stop and slip out of her collar (k9 Julius gets here tomorrow). It's funny how different they are. Nyala looks like she'll be sleeping well for the next few hours. Lol

I start them young but not too long or far. At 3 months I just went around the block. 4 months at parks but always on a leash. While she's looking at other dogs and wanting to go play she's already done one km without realizing it. Few weeks later add 2 more rounds of walking in the park. Today she's a whole big 7 months old she trots but when I see she's slowing down I will to just for a min walking slower pace while chatting with her so she forgets she's walking. Next thing you know she's back trotting and voilà, we're home. :)

Ive seen people with bike trailers for their dogs biking around here. Chunky will only go for about a 1/2 mile in my neighborhood before he stops and waits on me to turn around and go home. Luckily I could always tale a short cut through some yards if he completely quit but he hasn't yet. He is faster on the way home than on the way out though.

My neighborhood is all hills if you stay on the sidewalk so he doesn't run when we go for longer walks but will jog for a 100 yards or so when we are headed back to the house after he uses the bathroom on short walks. He wont go in my yard but and likes the field down the street that other neighborhood dogs use and deer hangout in all the time.

He likes to stop and smell or eat stuff when walking away from the house but always heads straight back without stopping. Just another bulldog thing i guess. He's definitely quirky

WOW… we used to do that w/our boxer, but I could never imagine doing that w/a bulldog. I'm lucky to get my guys around the block… they would probably go longer, I'm just worried about their breathing.

I wouldn't force her. I would see how far she can take it. a mile is better than anything. so long it keeps her going and doesn't become a potato couch. all depends on her. not there yet. It's not for all dogs so if it's too hard on her I would never push her till she drops. Also her nose is a bit long than most bulldogs. probably why she can do 5km. I go very early in the morning so it's still nice n cool. will see where the baby steps takes us. :)
