I exercise him everyday, from 30 minutes to 2 hours and I usually have him in a harness and a flexi lead and let him run and run so he gets good exercise I think.
In the winter he drags a sled, I have a special harness for him that is made for pulling things, I usually put just a 2 liter coca cola bottle full of water, in the sled and then he drags it, sometimes my sister sits on the sled and I help him pulling, he pulls the half of the wheight and I the half, he's VERY strong and muscled and loves pulling. Also we go bikejoring in the summer (Bikejoring = he pulls me on a bicycle in his sled harness.


Well, does flaxseed oil help anything with LP to keep his knee good? Or is anything else I can give him to make his knee better ?
I watch out for dressing him well up in cold weather, snow or rain so his knee doesn't get much cold.



I would think that is too much for him. If he has a LP I wouldn't want to put that type of pressure on his leg/ knee. Pnut has LP in both knees and the vet told me no jumping or hard activities!

A Yorkie isn't a Husky... I would stop those types of activities, you can do other things to make him loose weight.
