I couldn't be more confused why three weeks ago my 8 year old male yorkie suddenly is extremely slow on our walks in the neighborhood. He's so slow I'm nearly dragging him. When I stop, he marks a little and looks at me and wags his tail. When we proceed he continues to put his feet out almost demanding we stop. At home and at outings he's running around like crazy. He runs and plays fetch for long periods of time. I'm out of ideas and really miss walking with him in our neighborhood. It's too stressful to go for a walk with him constantly pulling the entire time.
