My 13 week old and doent like the cold as it is when I take her out to go pee/poop she try to run back to the house but today during one of are normal walks thru the wood and fields she took off back to the car a 1/2 mile away. This is the first really cold day we have been on a walk.  The rest were cool and wet but she dident care.  Do I guit working her in the cold and wait tell temps rise or continue our walk on long line?

I have had her 3 weeks and she seems to be a great pup that has a wonderfull nose and love to play fetch already.  Her traning thus far has simply been come, fetch/play nothing to hard, sit, and kennel.  She has a good concept of them all and picks things up very quick.  Has been the best pup I have ever work with.

We did get a coat for Bella as we got her in November of last year so she grew up in the winter. She still is sensitive to the cold, but only if she slows down enough to notice. Try getting your pup excited and interested in something else outside so it takes her mind off of being cold. Bella is over a year now and she still has a winter fleece she wears for slower pace activity like running errands and leash walks.

I would encourage you to walk any 13 week old puppy on a long line. If she takes off after something, then you will have a bigger problem than a cold puppy.

Ellie Update

Thanks for all the replies I got and you were all helpfull. Ellie is now grown up, and I mean alot.  She love going on walks with me even in the cold,  I didnt push the issue and she loves running around in the snow when I am with her.  This last week we now have a new first.  She is pointing are cat.  It is great.  I havent seen her point out in the fields yet, I dont think here is anyting to point to tell you the truth. but cant wait tell she points her first bird.  She is a great dog and the whole family loves her.  Even the cat she points.
