Pet's info: Dog | Bernese Mountain Dog | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 8 days old | 60 lbs
I have a seven-month-old Bernese Mountain dog and I'm wondering how long I should walk him per day while he's still growing. Also, can I take him on any hikes yet?

It is ok to take him outside for long walks now (15-30 minutes twice daily). Regarding the hikes I would wait until he is 12months. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
