These are excellent advice.
I would like to add that if you decide to carry your Yorkie in a carrier ALWAYS attach the inner leash to their harness, unless the carrier is closed up and there is no way for the Yorkie to get out. There were a few instances where I had the carrier top opened, and my yorkie Tatiana leaped out unexpectedly (someone bumped me from behind, and startled her, and she jumped out of the carrier. Another time, she sniffed the roasted chicken on the counter, and took a flying leap out my front-pack carrier at the chicken.) Thank goodness for each instance, I attached the inner leash on her harness, so she dangled safely outside of the carrier, above the ground. If she hit the ground, I think Tatiana would have been hurt. |
