    I wouldnt suggest it. Youre still putting stress on the pups joints. It would make it worse to add weight to the walks for a pup. Especially with GSD’s i wouldnt weight them down ever regardless of age; they are very prone to hip dysplasia.

    How about a game of tug? Or fetch in the water to get em swimming? Or hikes uphill when hes older?

    If youre worried about his energy as a pup, well it is normal for a pup to have tons of energy. Its a matter of managing it as best you can.
