Thank you ladies! So helpful

I took a few months of rest when I found out I was pregnant (had a miscarriage prior to that pregnancy and at the time I was going to school and was stressed walking long distance with heavy things). this one, I didn't do much for the first 3-4 months, just did short walks with my rat terrier daily. then I exercised like a nut the rest of the time.

Perhaps a compromise? Walking less dogs at a time? Or maybe only walking little small doggies that don't pull so you can go at a slow pace? ☺

Yeah I agree with @dreamie702
