Sloan,when I picked mine up the next day after her surgery, I asked when to expect her to start bearing weight. The vet said that large dogs start to bear weight right away, but smaller ones take longer because, unlike larger dogs, they have a much easier time getting around on three legs. So maybe your pup isjust doing it out of a habit learned when the knee was injured. I like Dr. Beagle's suggestion of walking them in tall grass (which doesn't have to be all that tall to be tall for a Yorkie)! It forces them to rely on all four legs and they can't walk through it stff-legged. They have to bend and flex the leg.
