I hear ya ! When I had a fenced in yard I still watched my 2.....now that I'm in an apartment with a fenced in patio - I have to walk them everyday and even WITH a harness on - they see a cat or any other small animal and boom - they're trying to run ....
Running does NOT work in a harness -it's like demented little bunny hops
if they were off leash they'd run until they caught it or worse - end up miles away.....once they take off - you'd never catch them if they were intent on their mission.
I'd never risk it with a yorkie. As well trained as some are - the impulse to hunt/chase is always there
