Murphy was 13 weeks when I got her and I started walking her almost right away. We walked for 10 - 20 minutes twice a day and worked up to an hour first thing in the morning by the time she was about 6 months old. We just got a little 10 week old bedlington terrier puppy and he's much smaller. I'm walking him once a day and started with just 10 or 15 minutes. I judge by how much energy he has. If he starts to slow down, we call it quits.

I was wondering this morning if your pup was used to the collar and leash. Sounds like he just doesn't like the feel of the harness and/or leash. If that's the case, it's important that you don't give in. If he can just sit and you'll carry him home, he'll never find out how much fun it is to go on walks with you.

Does he wear them around the house to get used to the feeling? If you give him lots of treats and make if fun to be out on a leash and harness I'm sure he'll be walking along with you in no time.
