For walking, I just took it slow...ie got my pups used to their collars, then used to the leash, then tried walking for a while...if they didn't want to walk, I'd carry them. Eventually, it just seemed to click with them.

Btw, what happened to your 1st yorkie?
I knew it was inexpensive, and I'm very glad that the breeder didn't ask more for him, otherwise it would've been impossible for me to purchase him.

My last Yorkie had dry skin, and I had to change his shampoo against my parents' wishes. Thank you for the information!

With walking, I was going to use a small harness due to the apparent collapsed trachea I've heard about. Once again, thank you!

My other Yorkie, Cooper, passed away a little over two years ago. He was hit by a car, and the cause of death was unknown. It could have been internal damage, it could have been shock. We're not sure.
