I've read (in several books and website) that a yorkie really needs only about 15 minutes of pure exercise a day. So based on that, it seems your puppy is getting plenty!
I have also heard that whatever you are giving in treats (for training) you can eliminate that portion when feeding. So maybe it's not the lack of excerise but the amount you are feeding him.
I was also told that the size of the treat for training, really does not have to be very big. Just morsels, to avoid over feeding and weight gain.
Just things to think about. You could be doing all the above correctly. Have you actually weighed your puppy? is he heavier than he needs to be for his height/age/stature? |
