How much do you exercise your yorkie? I've often wondered about this, how much is enough? How much is too much? I walk with my Lily three times a day. The first two walks lasts about 15 - 20 minutes. And then we walk for 30 - 40 minutes in the evening. Saturday and Sunday we have longer walks, about an hour or a little more. The plan is to go for even longer walks as soon as the snow disappears and the weather gets warmer. Also, I am planning on training agility with her. I have read that yorkies need almost no physical exercise, but this idea seems all wrong to me. After all, they are dogs, and little Lily has a lot of energy. So I'm curious of how much exercise yor all give your yorkies. I've never had one before and I don't want to do anything wrong with my little sweetheart.
