Hi, is your little baby lick more than he smell? I find it odd but my little Tezel seems to use his sense of taste more than his sense of smell. That make it difficult for me to bring him out for a walk. The moment I put him down on the floor, he will start licking everything he sees instead of smelling them. The first time I took him out, he fall sick from eating something nasty, I think. The vet said his stomach was bloated and he was not very active. I really would like to take him to the park, play with him, let him explore what is out there instead of this 4 walls. But with his habit of licking everything he sees and eat them, I don't wanna risk him having stomach upset again.

Is this a normal behavior of a Yorkie or it's only my little Tezel? If so, any pointers how I can break this habit of his? Need some advise.
