 There's alot to be said for good training - but I'd only walk a tiny dog like that where I KNOW it's safe for them

  GOOD POST! kikko follows me EVERYWHERE, but i wouldn't feel comfortable about having him outside without a leash. you never know what could happen. 

 there are cars, other dogs (big dogs), wild animals maybe, random pple who see a yorkie (esp a pampered one that belong to YTers 

 ) and want to make a buck could just run by and snatch them away!! yes I would never go somewhere without my guy on a leash.  
but one time, my family and i chatting on our drive way and I had kikko with me outside. so i put him down and decided to run, into the backyard, and i mean i sprinted ... and kikko was running as fast as he could chasing me. it was so funny. I ran up the driveway, through our gate into the backyard, into the house and upstairs to my room. i stopped, turned around, and a few seconds later kikko comes running in. it was soooo cute!
