Hi all! I am a new member of Yorkie Talk and I'm excited to be here

So here's my problem: I have a 1 1/2 year old yorkie female. She LOVES going for walks, but as soon as we step outside the door she goes CRAZY! She pulls, practically dragging me along (she's only 6 lbs). She hops, runs, and will absolutely not stop or slow down for anything.

Not only that, but whenever we come accross another person, another dog, someone on a bicycle/skateboard/etc. she goes nuts jumping and barking and growling.

I am looking for some suggestions on how to get her to settle down. She loves going for walks, but her behavior can be so frustrating that it discourages me from taking her.

HELP!
