Once he has healed up. Swimming would be so great for him. Gives him tons of exercise and very safe on the joints. You can even teach him to retrieve a toy. Some cities have underwater treadmills for dogs and they are absolutely fabulous in the recovery, and strength building process. If you go to Yorkie Videos both Britster and I have posted lots of swimming and dock diving videos, and AlaskaMike has one of his boy doing underwater treadmill work too.

INSTEAD of agility, think instead about field work of some nature, scent tracking, as an example, there are many fun performance sports out there you can do with your dog!

Once he builds up some muscle tone, consider dock jumping it is a real blast, and because the dog is landing in the water the stress on the joints is very minimal.

Another fun game for him that will burn off calories is " Find Your Toy" You hide toys around the living room kitchen whatever, and he gets to find it. Oh course lots of fun and good rewards on the finding!

You can also try to teach the Touch . Send command. Sit/Beg/Sit/Stand is wonderfull to build up the spinal muscles, the buttock muscles, and leaves alone the elbow joints. Youtube videos is you search out will help you on the steps to building up to these fun activities with your dog.
