Bella needs to walk when you are walking, except in a crowd. Then the stroller is really handy, or if your walk is very long and she gets tired, you can put her in the stroller. Dogs need to walk to exercise so they don't get fat and also it helps keep their nails trimmed. I use a harness on my Yorkies with one of those leashes that retract. They both walk well with them. Any new puppy doesn't like walking on a leash. It's just something they learn to tolerate. Never put a collar on a Yorkie to walk it because their tracheas are so small that it could cause their trachea to collapse when they pull on the color. Always use a harness. I've found a ferret harness works well, but now they make dog harnesses like that. You just put their feet into the two opening and snap the harness around their middle. No choking involved with this harness. |
