| Is it possible to play fetch? or something like that? I was just wondering the same thing this morning as we walk a lot. I play fetch with them alot and they play tug of war (somewhat) a lot. They are not allowed to go up and down the stairs as I have hardwood. I've seen a couple of videos of yorkies on a treadmill. Unfortunately I don't have that option.

| We have the same problem in the winter. We try to play with him a lot to exercise him. I have tried the treadmill thing with Carlos and he hates it. He kinda looks at me like "Why do I have to do this I never see you walking on this thing"

| I try to get mine out a few times a week by going to stores that allow dogs and walking around them. Granted it's not the same exercise as a brisk walk in the park, but it is a change of pace, it help to stimulate their cabin fever brains and they always get a lot of interaction with other shoppers. In addition to the pet stores, Home Depot & Lowes are great places because of their size and pet friendliness.

| If the temp is at least in the 30's, he should be fine walking outside. Just bundle him up and he'll enjoy it tremendously.

| Our dogs were losing lots of days during the winter where they couldn't get out for walks due to rain, so we bought a treadmill. Best investment we have made for them...........and us.
