Default Yorkies off leash

I don't recommend letting them off leash in an unfenced area. No matter how much you can train them and you think all is well you just need it to happen once that there is a loud noise or something scares them and they get into a panic run. When a panic run happens they clock out and you don't see any response, eyes are glazed, they just run in a panic. They can run into traffic, keep running a heck of a long way on adrenelin and can be a disaster.
They are also more susceptible to stray larger dogs that can grab a Yorkie before you have time to react. Some areas have hawk and eagle problems and it is too easy for them to pick up a Yorkie if the Yorkie gets far enough away from you.
