I have a 9 month old puppy and have started going on short bike rides with him for exercise. My question is - since he's still growing, how much do I need to worry about affecting his growth / growth plates with too much exercise? It's been a good way to work out excess energy and helps with training him for leash walking. He's an Irish Setter / Poodle mix and currently about 50 lbs. The vet thinks he is almost full weight but will still add height/length and a few more pounds. She mentioned that we should be careful not to do too much running but didn't really clarify, and we got distracted and didn't get a chance to follow up on that. I've read online that dogs will keep growing until 18 months and exercise should be limited until then. We've been doing 1 mile and I haven't noticed any soreness or issues in the few weeks that we've been doing it.
