@augustus_33ad There are always recommendations about extreme activity. Yes they need exercise, training, how to be a partner, and they need to be a huge part of your life. Take the pup with you all the time. Let the pup follow you indoors, talk to the pup. Teach crate training, teach their boundaries, teach quiet, teach how to chill and turn off. For every minute you elevate and teach drive, exercise, play, tug, fetch, teach the same amount on how to chill in and out of the house. Balance in everything. If you are up to raising and getting thru the puppy shenanigans then you can probably be ok.
When you walk your puppy think about it like a job. Have a goal in mind, walk with purpose, convey that attitude to your puppy. Be confident, not pulling the pup around, not admonishing every step. Just walking with a dog out on a leash doing as they please invites trouble because pup isn’t paying attention to you, self rewarding with distractions, sniffing, alerting to other dogs and people. Walk with some speed, relaxed, light voice, reverse directions often. Praise, treat, make it pleasant to be with you and adventurous, expect great behavior. Later after fully trained on following your commands, with breaks for sniff and play only when you say, you can tailor how you want your activities to go.
So much goes into your attitude, and your desire to make a great companion out of your dog. Constant stimulation is not the answer. I’ve had stockdogs, sometimes several at a time, for all my life. Many years I had stock, goats, ducks, chickens, horses, sheep. They had chores, when a dog has a job, and you rely on them, they are as happy as happy can be. Make a chore for your pup, picking up things you drop, holding an item for you, teaching them to stand foursquare while you lean on them to adjust a shoe or sock. To them, anything that you teach that helps you makes them feel handy, and we all like that right? They can adapt and adjust to just about anything as long as you love them, train how to be good dogs, and make them part of your everyday life, include them in everything possible. Don’t force them to like other dogs or people, but just to take the them in stride as everyday obstacles and distractions. I never say a person can’t, but can if they are dedicated to making that pup an integral part of your life.
