Hello! After a sanity check please. I have a 7.5 month old Sprocker spaniel puppy. He pulls like a steam train when he’s on the lead (we are working on this) but my partner is usually the one to hold the lead whilst we are out as he is stronger than I am!
The issue is…my partner has broken his ankle and is currently waiting for surgery. I work full time and also need to get to the hospital after work before visiting hours finish.
Am I okay to just take pup on shorter walks in the evening for the time being until my partner is home? He can have longer walks in the mornings where he can run around and play with his ball and we play a lot during the day as I WFH and has plenty of mental enrichment throughout the day too.
I just need to check I’m not going to ruin all our progress in his training or even upset him (silly I know) by just having quick 15-20 minute walks in the evenings.
I would take him out once back from the hospital but I will be on my own at night and just don’t like the thought of going out on my own that late.
I have someone that will be coming to sit with him whilst I’m visiting the hospital but it’s not possible for them to walk him due to their own mobility issues and his lead pulling.
Thanks
