Sorry, but I would not let your Yorkie off leash in a public park. Even if you could absolutely always trust your dog not to run out into traffic or just run off, there is no way you can always trust that there are not going to be bigger, agressive dogs that might hurt your little one. You need to be able to quickly get your Yorkie up off the ground if the situation demands. You can't always do that if they are roaming free. Another danger could be thieves. If they are breaking and entering, stealing yorkies to hold for ransom, I am sure it will only be a matter of time before someone steals a yorkie off leash from a public park. A snatch and grab can happen almost as easy on a Yorkie as it can on a pocketbook. Guess I shouldn't spread that idea around!
know it may not seem like it, but with their little legs, they can probably even get enough exercise in an apartment. I know mine can tear around the living room, dining room area of my house and wear me out just watching. They still need the fresh air of the park, but on a leash. |
