Question
hey hi sir,
I have 2.5 month old Labrador retriver male puppy,while walking from house to park,i need to pull him there is any problem?(about knee problem,or joint?) If yes then how he run in park with dogs and walk nice in park what is the problem plz rply me asap
ty tc
and tell me nice quality food for him

Answer
I cannot advise you to pull him.  You need to train him to walk with you by using a treat or some other type of smell to get him to stay with you. You can leave a collar and leash attached to get him to understand that he needs to stay close to you. I recommend any good quality commercial puppy food that the puppy likes to eat.
