Never let your yorkie off leash, either others will see her as prey, (once saw a fox chasing a yorkie, but didn't catch it and the owner was able to grab the yorkie) or your yorkie will see those cute little woodland creatures as prey and try to hunt them.
Even if they are well trained, I just wouldn't risk it. |
Fabian is exactly the same. The only time he's been off-leash is either inside our own home or in a double-fenced off local dog park. (At a solid 10 pounds, he's not as high-risk as the tinier dogs for slipping under the fence.) While he's generally well-trained, he tugs at the leash when he sees squirrels, chipmunks and the like.
