How much weight I can use to accompany my backpack dog during walks?
While the man who watcing Dog Whisperer, I've noticed Cesar Millan's dog with a backpack for shorter walks loaded with bottles of water to increase the energy used by the dog. Not sure how many bottles of water would be enough to give my dog a good training during the walks. Is about one and a half old, weighs about 52 pounds, and is a mix of Lab-Pitbull.
My dogs in top condition can carry up to 20% of their body weight in their backpacks. But I had to start light and gradually go heavier. I started with a small bottle of water on each side until they got used to it and then every week or two until they were taking what he wanted to without exceed the weight limit. It is very important to go slowly so you do not go too fast for your dog and keep the amount equal or close to it on both sides. I would not be aimed at the greatest range of 10 pounds for six months and which may still be in development. I would also recommend walking your dog with a vacuum bag for a week or so with nothing in it to get used to. Good luck and have fun.
