Thanks so much for all your input and help in raising these precious yorkies.
I was reading this thread in hope for some additional advice. I have this same problem with the only puppy that my dog gave birth to, the puppy seems to be overweight a little and she kicks her legs back outward while using her arms to move around. I did bring her to the vet and he said that
she was okay but needs to get more exercise to build strength so that she can walk. So I have been working with her for a week now. She does try to use her legs a little more than before, but still kicks them out.
My puppy is four weeks old.
I wanted to know how your puppy is doing? Also any advise would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You're puppy has just begun to walk.....so he's also unsteady.....
What you're experiencing is swimmer's legs......make sure that you have your pup on a surface that has great traction.....You can also, use a piece of foam rubber that looks like egg crates and allow the pup to walk on that....taping the hind legs together also helps.
