My puppy just spayed. What's normal for her weight, growth, training?

Question

Is she fat for a puppy or could gain more? Is she done growing? Or when do they stop? She eats Natures Recipe, and eats well most of the time. (Just got spayed and has had little less of an appetite) How long should I expect a puppy her age to heel on walks? She does pretty well with treats and focuses well even when walking into class surrounded by dogs bottlenecking in. Thanks.

She has a lot of fur but her weight looks good. She will continue to grow at a slower rate until she’s about one year old. I gradually switch to adult food now that she’s been spayed. I like for dogs to have a nice tuck at the waist and to be able to feel their ribs but not see them. After spaying some dogs are less active and gain weight so now is the time to keep a watch so she doesn’t get fat. As far as the training it will take many months of training to get her to be reliable at the heel and learn commands. A six month old dog is very energetic and has a short attention span. Keep with the training and you’ll have a wonderful, well trained dog when she’s an adult. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sienna.
