I know you puppy is very young now so she is probably a bit on the timid side and staying close, but as she grows this will change. Yorkies are very fast and can bolt in split second. Our property is about 700 ft deep and we live on a lake, we were getting off our boat and my husband decided to put Kirby our last yorkie on the grass without his leash, in a second he spotted a squirrel and started chasing after him, the squirrel started toward the front of the yard and our yorkie kept right after him and followed him into the street. Both my husband and I are huffing and puffing and running after him but could not even come close to catching him before he got to the street. So now I am forced to run down the middle of the street in my bathing suit and bare feet. One of my neighbors was walking in the street about 4 doors away, she tried to catch him but he saw her and turned back, then when he saw me he turned around and ran back towards her, by this time he was having a blast playing his version of dodge ball, one of us finally scooped him up. That was the last time we ever set him down without a leash. This spring we are going to fence in our back area so Lola can play safely out back but only when we are with her. So please don't feel because you are close to your dog that nothing can go wrong, I am just trying to warn you so you are not faced with heart ache again
