Golden Retriever Puppies Are in Charge of Walk Time-and Mom Just Goes With It
Sometimes on a walk, it can be a little unclear who's in charge. Is it you - or is it your pup? One dog mom was in the total unique situation of being walked by her own puppies. You read that right! Mom was totally at their mercy, and she went along with it like the total queen that she is.
Well, this isn't something that you see everyday. It's not very unique to see a Golden Retriever mama on a walk with her babies - but this was something sort of new.
@goldendogfarm How many puppies does it take to walk a dog? Many it seems #goldenretriever#goldendogfarm#bestfriend#puppy

Shared by Golden Dog Farm in Vermont, the clip is paw-sitively precious. It can't be easy to have a large group of babies by your side all the time. Sometimes you need to let them play around a little bit, even if it means they'll try their hand at taking you for a walk!
One, two, three puppies were holding onto the leash that their mom was attached to. As a trio, they trailed behind their mama. But don't worry, she didn't go too fast. No one got left behind.
Mom didn't seem to mind that her babies were holding on to her. She was completely confident in where she was going. She was in charge, no matter who was holding on to her leash.
"How many puppies does it take to walk a dog? Many it seems," the video's caption jokes. That's okay, they're all working as a team!
People in the comments section were totally smitten with the Golden Retriever puppy trio. They were so stinkin' cute.
"Goldens are the best!!!!" cheered one person.
"We're following the leader, the leader, the leader. We're following the leader wherever he may go!" another commenter teased.
"So cuteeeee," one person praised.
When Can Puppies Go Outside for the First Time?
The best part of having a puppy is that you get to experience all their firsts!
You should wait until your puppy has had their first round of vaccinations before taking them outside for the first time, typically around 18 to 22 weeks. You will also need to socialize your puppies so that they can be confident around humans and other dogs alike! Then head outside and take them for a walk - or else they might want to walk you!
